Vulcan

GLP & ISO Compliant
ICP-MS / ICP-OES / AAS
7 Reagent Lines
LIMS Integration
Modular Design

Manual sample preparation limits analytical throughput and puts operators at risk. Vulcan automates acid digestion, dilution, and autosampler transfer in one integrated workflow — increasing laboratory capacity, accuracy, and operator safety.

Vulcan 7-line precision reagent addition system — HF and aggressive acid compatible syringe module

Precise Reagent Delivery: 7 Lines, 2 Technologies

Seven independent lines connect directly from the reagent bottle to the probe. A choice of syringe or peristaltic pump adapts to any reagent type and viscosity.

⚗
7 Independent Reagent Lines
Each line connects directly from the bottle to the probe. PTFE and glass wetted materials ensure safe operation with aggressive liquids including HF, HClO₄, H₂O₂, and H₂SO₄.
💧
±0.05 mL Syringe Accuracy
±0.05 mL per single stroke with syringe; ±0.1 mL at 5 mL with peristaltic pump. Eliminates operator pipetting error and delivers reproducible results across every run.
🔄
Glass & PTFE Syringe or Peristaltic Pump
Syringe mode for high-precision volumetric delivery; peristaltic pump for high-volume or viscous fluids. Both options are available on the same system.
Vulcan flexible transfer module — automated volumetric dilution and autosampler transfer system

Volumetric Dilution and Automated Autosampler Transfer

From ultrasonic non-contact sensing to automated autosampler rack loading, every sample processing step runs without operator intervention.

📡
Ultrasonic Non-Contact Volumetric Dilution
A non-contact ultrasonic sensor measures liquid level precisely; diluent is added automatically. The final volume in each vial is consistent across every batch.
🧫
Multiple Dilutions from a Single Parent Vial
Multiple sub-vials at different dilution factors are produced automatically from a single digest. Multi-analyte calibration requirements are met without additional manual steps.
🤖
Fully Automated Autosampler Transfer
Prepared samples are transferred directly to the autosampler rack. Direct integration with ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and AAS systems enables unattended overnight runs.

What You Wonder About

The Vulcan system is fully compatible with HF (hydrofluoric acid), HClO₄ (perchloric acid), H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide), H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid), and many other aggressive chemicals. Seven independent reagent lines with Glass & PTFE syringe or peristaltic pump options provide a flexible configuration for different viscosities and reagent types.

Vulcan connects directly to the autosampler units of ICP-MS, ICP-OES, AAS/FAAS, and GFAAS elemental analysis instruments. The system is designed to be compatible with virtually all standard laboratory digestion workflows.

Yes. Vulcan is equipped with user access level management, full audit trail logging, and automated report generation to meet GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and ISO quality standards. Every process step is recorded for a fully auditable workflow.

Yes. Heating blocks can be easily exchanged thanks to the modular design. The wide operating range of 230 °C to 400 °C provides flexibility for different matrix types and application requirements without system downtime.

Yes. Vulcan can automatically create multiple sub-vials at different dilution factors from a single parent digest vial. This feature meets multi-analyte calibration range requirements without any additional manual steps.
