(PRWEB) September 28, 2006 -- METTLER TOLEDO is delighted to announce the introduction of its LiQC multi-parameter system for simultaneous analysis of density, refractive index, pH and color.
LiQC increases productivity by combining single measurements into one fully automated process. A sample is filled into a sample vial, placed onto an automatic sample changer and assigned a bar code label. LiQC automatically completes every subsequent step: choosing the appropriate method, pumping the sample into the various flow-through cells and performing all measurements. The results are statistically evaluated, compared to specifications and transferred to LIMS systems. The system thoroughly cleans and dries the measuring cells simultaneously before moving on to the next sample.
The benefits are obvious: substantial time saving because only one instrument has to be operated instead of four, reduced margin of error due to the simplified process, facilitated interpretation of results, thanks to automated comparison with set values, and the elimination of transcription errors due to automatic LIMS transfer.
LiQC can easily be adapted to the specific needs and workflows of many industries. Its benefits will be particularly appreciated within flavor & fragrance, petrochemical, beverage and pharmaceutical industries where multi-parameter measurements are performed for identification, purity and concentration determinations and by independent testing laboratories that have to deal with a large quantity of samples and very short turnaround times.
