What it is

The Perkin Elmer S10 is a computer-controlled, multi-purpose sampling system designed for use with atomic absorption (AA), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instruments. The autosampler is also compatible with PerkinElmer FL 6500 and FL 8500 fluorescence spectrometers and UV/Vis spectroscopy systems.[4][1]

How it works

The S10 employs an advanced drive system with high-precision motors that move the sampling arm in the X and Y axes simultaneously, reducing changeover time between samples. Random-access programming allows flexible placement of samples and reference solutions in any order. The autosampler includes a sampling probe and a peristaltic rinse pump with associated tubing and a rinsing port for cleaning the sample path.[4][1]

Applications

The S10 is used in inorganic and elemental analysis techniques including atomic absorption spectroscopy (AA), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The autosampler also supports UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy when paired with PerkinElmer FL 6500 and FL 8500 spectrometers.[4][1]

The autosampler is employed in life-science applications such as biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing sample analysis, synthetic biology research, and biopharmaceutical production workflows.[5]
