Which automated sampler fits your process?

The entry-level bioPROBE configuration — one probe per vessel feeding a simple auto-sorting carousel (orbitSAM), positioned as BBI-Biotech's budget automated sampler for single-reactor setups. Capacity conflicts between BBI's own sources: the live product page says 36 positions with a 51 × 15 mL rack still 'in development', while an older PDF claims 51. The shipping figure is used here. Note the barrier is mechanical, not a filter, and this is a positive claim rather than a gap: BBI's flyer sells 'unique filterless sampling technology' and 'no filters in the bioreactor, no issues with biofilms / biofouling'. So a pore size here would be wrong, not merely unsourced — the 0.2 µm that surfaces in search results is a Flownamics FISP probe's, a different vendor's part. The interval comes from BBI's dedicated bioPROBE technical-data page, whose table is headed 'valid for all bioPROBE Systems' — a spec table, not a leaflet, and byte-stable across captures from 2015 to 2021. Two things a future editor needs to know about it. First, it is gone: the live site publishes no number at all ('Die Probenintervalle sind frei wählbar'), the downloads page 404s and the sitemap is an empty urlset, so the archived URL is the citation and there is no live one to upgrade to. Second, BBI's own 2015 bioPROBE flyer disagrees with it, saying 'Sample interval: up to 5 min' ('bis zu 5 min') — do NOT cite the two as agreeing. The technical-data page wins on all three axes: it is a spec table rather than a two-page leaflet, it says 'from' (a minimum interval, which is what a sampler spec means) where the flyer's 'up to' reads as an upper bound and so is ambiguous in the wrong direction, and it is the later of the two. That the gap is real and not a search failure is corroborated third-party: Efromson 2021 (HardwareX) tabulates competing bioreactor autosamplers with a 'Minimal Sampling Interval' column and the bioPROBE cell reads NA while Omnicoll, EasySampler and BioSamplr carry numbers. Four published numbers sit close enough to be mistaken for this product's and none is: the 'bbi-biotech GmbH, Berlin' cited in Processes 2019 and 2022 is an IMPELLER (three-blade segment, 54 mm, 30°), not a sampler; the Eppendorf application note's 'Sampling frequency Every 2 h' is Eppendorf's own; Rupcic 2018 (PMC6027269) ran a bbi xCUBIO reactor with an UNNAMED aseptic probe — plausibly this one, unprovable, so it is not cited as a use; and Kuystermans 2014 cites BBI but sampled on an MSP FCP 5000 whose 'every 5 h' is that machine's. There are zero verifiable academic uses of bioPROBE, orbitSAM, multiSAM, coolSAM or iceBLOCK anywhere.

The scale-up configuration — four independent probes feeding one multiSAM that can hold hundreds of cooled samples, built for parallel small-scale screens rather than one large vessel. The richest of BBI's line: 40+ extension packs including filtration (96-well plates, Chromafil cartridges, MediaKap hollow fibre) and a 21 CFR Part 11 / Annex 11 audit-trail pack. Careful with the filtration packs — those are post-draw sample prep, not the sterile barrier, which is the probe valve. BBI publishes no cooling temperature for the Peltier pack; the ThermoStat C's own range is a third-party number and is not quoted here. The interval below is NOT inferred from the sibling row — BBI's bioPROBE technical-data table is explicitly scoped 'valid for all bioPROBE Systems', and single and quad are the two members, so it lands here in its own right. What is genuinely unpublished is the thing this configuration exists for: no multiSAM-level or per-reactor throughput figure exists anywhere, so 'time to service four reactors' has no answer and nothing says whether four probes cycle concurrently or in turn. Same for the analyzer count — 'unlimited atline processes' in the product presentation is marketing, not a countable spec, and must not be tabulated as one. See the bioPROBE single entry for why the archived 2015 flyer's conflicting 'up to 5 min' loses to that table, and for the four nearby published figures (a bbi IMPELLER in Processes 2019/2022, Eppendorf's own 2 h, Rupcic 2018's unnamed probe, and an MSP FCP 5000's 5 h) that must not be attributed to this product.

DISCONTINUED, and no longer merely 'probably' — its own product URL returns HTTP 301 Moved Permanently in both languages, redirecting into the generic automated-sampling page. A 301 rather than a 404 or a 302 is a deliberate permanent retirement, and it is recent: the page was still serving 200 in a May 2026 capture. The successor is iceBLOCK, which BBI's current architecture page puts in exactly this slot ('bioPROBE quad + multiSAM + iceBLOCK') with 96 water-free Peltier positions against coolSAM's 8; coolSAM is absent from that page in both languages. One thing will confuse a fact-checker: the sampling-overview page STILL lists coolSAM third among autosamplers, but its link points at the URL that 301s — a stale nav entry with a dead link, not evidence the product is current. The page content itself was byte-identical from 2015 to 2026, i.e. frozen for eleven years and then redirected. Kept here because installed units exist and its one unusual capability is worth knowing: it heats as well as cools, for deactivating cells or triggering a thermal step in the vial. Three cells are blank and all three are closed dead ends, not gaps. Line count: BBI states this product's capacity only in POSITIONS and never in reactors, and the likeliest misreading of the whole row is turning '4 sample vessels à 50 mL' into '4 reactors' — it is neither 1 nor 4. Sampling interval: the bioPROBE technical-data table that carries 'from 2 min' is scoped to bioPROBE SYSTEMS, and the coolSAM page's own Technical Details table has exactly three rows (Size, Variants, Tempering) with no interval row ever — and unlike the quad, whose page states outright that it is four bioPROBEs, nothing says which bioPROBE configuration a coolSAM shipped against, so there is no bounded inference to make. Analyzer coupling: BBI's own pitch is 'the concentrated analysis later on', i.e. deferred bench work, and no analyzer is ever named on this page — the named packs (MACSQuant, Vi-CELL XR, SIAS) all attach to the multiSAM.

A passive single-use 'seal-and-store' consumable for Cytiva's Xcellerex XDR bioreactors and XDUO/XDM mixers — an operator draws into a bag and seals it, so interval, dilution and analyzer coupling are structurally inapplicable rather than merely unpublished. Sample volume is the opposite case and is the one cell left blank — treat it as a closed dead end, not an unfinished row. Cytiva identifies this SKU by BAG COUNT ONLY, and that holds at every level of the record: no datasheet, IFU or spec table exists (both product pages literally read 'No documents available' and 'No overview available'), the XDUO ordering table's parenthetical is the bag count with no volume column beside it, and the printed product label itself — photographed on a resale listing, 'Single Use Sample Manifold -10 Bag', doc B103841-I Rev F — carries lot, expiry, storage range and quantity but no volume. A sweep of Fisher, VWR/Avantor, Thermo, Sigma-Aldrich, LabX, eBay, DotMed, EquipNet, Surplus Solutions, BioSurplus and the reseller's own site search returned the part with a count and never a volume. Two machine-readable channels say the same thing: Cytiva's own structured product API returns for 29041167 only 'Wetted Materials: C flex tubing, ULDPE' and 'Wetted Part: Yes' with an empty feature array for 29041165 (29041166 is absent from the US catalogue entirely), and the IFU URL pattern d3.cytivalifesciences.com/prod/IFU/[part-number].pdf — verified live for an unrelated part, 29277632 → 200 — 404s for all three of these. A separate sweep of the LEGACY record — four GE Healthcare data files, two GE Operating Instructions (one 322 pages, one 11k lines, both with zero occurrences of the word 'manifold'), and five original Xcellerex Inc. brochures and datasheets from 2006–2012 — found the product only ever as a catalog line or a one-clause aside ('sample manifolds are available optionally'). GE/Xcellerex never published a spec sheet for it either, so this is not a Cytiva-era omission. The only documents that could still carry the number are the XDR-50 to 2000 Operating Instructions 29-0646-43 AA (no reachable mirror) and the IFU shipped in the box, doc B103841-I Rev F — both a support request away, neither on the open web. Numbers that sit nearby and are NOT this product's: the 1/8 in swabbable sample line (the host biocontainer's), 27.5–45 kGy gamma (the XDM bags'), ReadyCircuit 50/250/500 mL sample bags (a different family), and every XDR/XDM working volume from 10 L up. One SKU caveat, confirmed twice from the live parts table: Cytiva binds 29041167 → 888-0430 and 29041165 → 888-0431, while 888-0755 appears only in a single dead eBay title and resolves nowhere in any GE or Xcellerex document — treat it as superseded or a repack, not as a third variant.

Listed for completeness, and the honest answer is that it is a bioprocess CONTROL STATION with no documented automated sampling: Distek's own 2025 brochure spec table covers working volume, agitation, gas, temperature, pumps (4 bi-directional peristaltic per side) and PAT I/O, and carries no sampling row at all. What it offers is signal integration for third-party probes, not physical sample withdrawal. Distek does sell an autosampler — in its dissolution-testing line, an unrelated product family whose numbers must not be carried across.

Bolts directly onto Eppendorf's own DASware-controlled bioreactor line (DASbox, DASGIP, SciVario twin, BioFlo 320) — deep, retrofit-friendly integration but zero cross-brand support. It is a sample COLLECTOR, not an analyzer feeder: draws into a chilled vial for offline analysis, with a reusable needle and wash cycles rather than a single-use fluid path.

The workhorse Seg-Flow platform — reusable pinch-valve hardware with non-contact ultrasonic sensors that routes native or pre-diluted samples from up to 8 vessels to downstream analyzers, vendor-agnostic on both ends. Two numbers not in the table because the sources disagree: dilution ratio (Flownamics publishes none; distributors quote 1:10, 1:20 and 1:25) and reactor count beyond 8 (an ASR+ / FlowWeb release is claimed to double it to 16). Storage is the separate FlowFrac 1000, not the S3 itself.

S3G is the S3 chassis reconfigured specifically for blood-gas-analyzer coupling — same pinch-valve hardware, with a fluid path built to stop gases diffusing out before pH/pCO2/pO2 is read. Interval and volume are blank deliberately, and a future editor must not 'fix' them: no S3G datasheet, manual or brochure exists anywhere in Flownamics' literature library, its own Product Specifications tab is four rows (Dimensions, Weight, Electrical, System Control), and that tab reproduces the S3 brochure's Electrical/System Control/Physical rows while omitting exactly Sample Cycle and Sample Size. The mechanism of the usual misattribution is on the page itself: its 'Literature' tab links the S3 brochure, whose header reads Model: S3 and which never says S3G. So the 10–45 min and 1.25–50 mL figures are the sibling's, and the S3G's own pitch is 'minimum sample volume' with no number attached.

Built for cell & gene therapy: a fully disposable, low-shear fluid path replaces S3's reusable tubing set, trading reusability for GMP traceability and zero cross-contamination risk in a small-footprint, per-bioreactor module. It is the one Seg-Flow that needs no ASR at the vessel. A US distributor advertises 24 reactors; Flownamics' own spec table, brochure and European distributor all say 16, so 16 is what's quoted here. Sampling interval is blank because the March 2024 brochure — the only PS document Flownamics publishes — has no cycle-time row in its specification panel at all; the sole claim anywhere is a distributor's qualitative 'fully customisable sampling intervals', which is not a number.

Originally Lonza's platform (developed in Bend, OR), acquired by Merck in 2022 — the only GMP-qualified automated aseptic sampler in this set built for large-scale stainless-steel manufacturing, not just bench-scale R&D. No vendor publishes a minimum sampling interval; the nearest number is ~4 min *transit* time to a nearby analyzer, which is not a cycle time. Storage and dilution are properties of the optional Gilson liquid handler, not of MAST itself.

Manual, not automated — a no-dead-leg single-penetration sampling unit for multi-use/stainless-steel processes, included as Merck's aseptic-sampling counterpart to MAST for facilities that haven't automated sampling yet. Four columns below read 'not applicable' rather than sitting blank, and the difference matters: a person carries the sample, so there is no interval, no cooled bay, no dilution and no analyzer path. That is a fact about the product, not a gap in the research. Note the standard GO unit is NOT autoclavable — a separate autoclavable vented bag line exists for that.

The single-use sibling to NovaSeptum GO — same closed, no-dead-leg concept, but joined by C-Flex weld or AseptiQuik S connector into a single-use train rather than clamped onto stainless steel. Manual, so the same four columns are not applicable for the same reason. Volumes below are Merck's own summary-table figures; individual SKUs widen them (a 5 × 50 mL bag manifold ships as AC71410050 against a table that says 100 mL), so check the part number before quoting.

Bridges Nova's FLEX2 bench analyzer to up to 10 bioreactors via automated line draws, turning a normally manual grab-sample workflow into near-hourly PAT-grade sampling — the tradeoff is you're locked into Nova's proprietary MicroSensor Card consumables for every reading. Watch the two volume figures: 5.6 mL leaves the bioreactor per draw, of which the analyzer itself consumes 265 µL. Chilled storage is the optional SRCS rack, not standard.

Frequently miscredited to Sartorius; it is Nova's module, and Sartorius' own integration brochure says so outright ("Ambr systems are provided by Sartorius; Nova BioProfile FLEX2 and ESM are provided by Nova Biomedical"). It is also not a bioreactor-side sampler: the Ambr robot draws the sample itself and dispenses it into a cup on the ESM deck, so the sterile barrier is the Ambr's own biosafety cabinet, not anything the ESM provides.

Listed for completeness and it is NOT an autosampler: a pH + Raman measurement accessory that the Ambr robot feeds, so it competes with the analyzer half of a sampling chain rather than the sampling half. FOUR published spec sets exist, and they are successive editions rather than contradictions — (A) Pub. SBI1558-e160401 Ver. 04|2016: 60 µL, 90 s; (B) 'Ambr Analysis Module — pH Calibration and Raman Spectroscopy Integration' Ver. 2020/03: 60 / 250 µL, 90 / 120 s; (C) 'Integrated Cell Culture Analyzers' Ver. 06|2020: 0.06 / 0.3 mL, 1.5 / 2 min; (D) the Analysis Module brochure status 11|08|2021, republished unchanged 03|2022 and 11|2025: 60 / 200 µL, 160 s. D is what Sartorius publishes today and is what the cells above carry; quote D and cite the edition, because all four are still reachable online. Storage is sourced at page level from §8 of the Ambr 15cc User Manual (TAP-9670-06-005 Iss. 9.00, 01 May 2019): §8.7.5.2 p.161 — the tip's 'entire contents … including headspace gas is dispensed into the sample cup and immediately aspirated into sample flow channel'; §8.5.1.1 pp.152–153 — the waste bottle holds 'all samples, calibration fluid and wash fluid for a complete reagent pack' and 'most mammalian and microbial cell lines will not survive in the waste bottle since they are mixed with wash fluid in the syringe'; §8.7.6 p.163 — the 'analysis module pH cell does not have active cooling'. The §8.1.1 component list names no rack, carousel, plate or cooled position at all. The Raman path ends the same way per a source that is not Sartorius: Sensors 2022;22(9):3397 — 'to prevent sample carryover, the sample was discarded following spectral analysis and a cleaning cycle was initiated'. Dilution is a hard negative rather than an unsearched cell: the string 'dilut' occurs nowhere inside the §8 addendum; reagent kit 001-4B60 ships rinse, cleaning solution and two calibration buffers and no diluent; and Fig. 90's volume budget is closed — 700 µL headspace gas + 60 µL sample + 50 µL gas in a 1000 µL tip, all dispensed and all aspirated — so no diluent has anywhere to enter. Diluting would also defeat the measurand, since pH shifts on dilution. Numbers that sit close enough to be misread onto this module, none of which belong to it. Volume and time: the 160 µL one row above 'Cycle time per reading, pH' in the 2020/03 brochure is the Ambr 15 BioPAT Spectro sample volume, not the 160 s cycle; '0.3 (undiluted)' and '0.55 (undiluted)' in the 06|2020 brochure are the Roche Cedex HiRes and Beckman Vi-CELL XR columns. Cooling: 'cooled culture stations' and 'chilled plate positions' are the Cooled Ambr 15 Workstation 24C/48C (manual §6) — the base system, not this module. Dilution: the 1:2 ratio printed one column away on Sartorius' Integrated Analytics poster is the Nova FLEX2's; the 1:4 / 1:10 / 1:20 in Machleid 2026 and the '2- or 4-fold diluted … prior to adding to the sample cup' in the Vi-CELL BLU app note are both Vi-CELL prep performed by the base Ambr liquid handler; automated 'spiking' of samples with analyte stock solutions is Raman DoE calibration-model building, not analytical dilution; and the diluting step in the TAP patent family (US 11,598,720) is sited at the bioreactor module's manipulation station, which that same patent defines as a different part of the machine. The patent also describes routing a sample back to the bioreactor for off-line reference — a claimed alternative workflow, not storage and not shipped behaviour, so it does not reopen the storage cell.

The deepest analyzer-agnostic sampling stack in this set — modular multiplexer, dilution, filtration and routing modules built to feed almost any downstream instrument (HPLC, Cedex Bio HT, Vi-CELL, Nova Flex) rather than lock buyers into one brand. Numbers below are Numera 3; an installed V2.x system runs to the older catalogue limits (dilution to 1:30, four analyzers), so confirm the generation before quoting.

VENDOR CORRECTION: TriVersa NanoMate is manufactured by Advion Interchim Scientific (Ithaca, NY; parent Bohui Innovation Biotechnology, via the 2020 Interchim merger) — no evidence was found that Gilson ever owned, licensed, or rebranded this product. Gilson's actual 2021 mass-spec integration was Advion's separate Compact Mass Spectrometer line folded into Gilson's VERITY prep-chromatography portfolio, a different product. Chip-based nanoelectrospray ion source confirmed compatible with multiple third-party MS platforms (Waters Xevo/SYNAPT, Sciex, others).

Agilent's standard-throughput UHPLC autosampler — single-needle design pitched at routine QA/QC and method-development labs that don't need the Multisampler's dual-needle speed or 6,000+ sample capacity.

Dual-needle design overlaps sample draw with the previous injection cycle, pushing cycle time down to ~5 s and capacity up to 6,144 samples — built for high-throughput labs running unattended batches, not routine single-sample QC.

Purpose-built loading accessory for Bio-Rad's BioLogic DuoFlow protein purification system rather than a standalone chromatography autosampler; optional Peltier cooling protects heat-sensitive protein/antibody samples during queued injections.

Legacy refrigerated autosampler for Bio-Rad's discontinued BioLogic HR/HRLC systems; no longer listed in Bio-Rad's current catalog and only available through the used-equipment secondary market, illustrating that Bio-Rad has since exited direct autosampler manufacturing in favor of NGC-to-third-party integration.

Split-loop LC-MS autosampler for Bruker's Elute+ platform, tuned for the low-carryover, high-reproducibility injections that QC/release LC-MS/MS methods (e.g., pesticide, residue panels) require; ships with PFAS-free flow-path options.

High-throughput sample-handling tier of the Elute+ platform built around a third-party CTC Analytics PAL RSI autosampler rather than a Bruker-native mechanism, expandable with additional sample trays for high-volume QC/release workflows and online extraction.

Compact NMR sample changer for Bruker Avance spectrometers, using interchangeable cassette modules with a built-in barcode reader — aimed at standard-throughput NMR QC service labs rather than the very-high-throughput SampleJet line.

Entry-level companion to SampleXpress with a smaller removable carousel, aimed at labs that need basic batch NMR sample submission without full SampleXpress cassette capacity.

Bruker's original automated NMR sample-changer line (predates SampleXpress), offered in 60- and 120-position configurations for unattended queued acquisitions across a wide range of Bruker field strengths.

Entry-level automated injector with manually exchanged tools; supports liquid, headspace and SPME sampling on one modular platform and is field-upgradeable to full PAL RTC tool-changing. OEM'd across Agilent, Thermo, Shimadzu and other GC/LC brands.

Robotic tool-changer that switches between liquid injection, headspace and SPME within one sample list in under 30 seconds, enabling unattended 24/7 multi-technique workflows. OEM'd widely across instrument brands rather than sold only under the CTC/Trajan name.

Two independent robotic heads run parallel workflows (e.g. simultaneous headspace prep plus GC/LC injection into two systems), roughly doubling throughput versus single-head RTC/RSI configurations for high-volume QC/release labs.

Gilson's high-throughput SPE/cartridge automation platform (1/3/6 mL cartridges), built as an open modular liquid handler intended to bolt onto third-party LC/MS front ends rather than a closed proprietary analytical stack.

Dedicated static-headspace autosampler that heats/shakes up to 6 vials simultaneously and relocates between GC systems from different brands in under 5 minutes; the 2000HT variant extends oven/syringe temperature for high-boiling-point applications.

Single autosampler head that covers liquid, static headspace and SPME injection and switches between the three modalities in about 5 minutes without hardware changes — a lower-cost, single-technique-at-a-time alternative to CTC's true tool-changing PAL RTC.

Routine, general-purpose autosampler in JASCO's LC-4000 series for conventional HPLC; full-loop mode maximizes reproducibility for repeat serial injections, partial-loop mode lets users change injection volume without swapping loops.

RHPLC-tier autosampler rated to 70 MPa with sub-30-second injection cycles; an optional 5-solvent flush system pushes carryover toward zero for trace-level QC/release methods.

UHPLC-tier sibling of the AS-4150, rated to 130 MPa with tighter injection precision — JASCO's top-of-line LC-4000 autosampler for high-resolution UHPLC QC methods.

Large-volume/preparative member of the LC-4000 autosampler family, standard up to 5 mL injections (10 mL optional) for prep-scale and semi-prep QC workflows where analytical-tier loop sizes fall short.

Space-saving 15 cm-wide autosampler that can be bolted onto an existing (including non-JASCO) LC stack via keypad or RS-232 control, rather than requiring the full LC-4000 system controller.

KNAUER's flagship AZURA-series autosampler, offered in analytical, preparative, and biocompatible configurations sharing one chassis; the analytical build adds an ILD valve that depressurizes the loop pre-aspiration to prevent solvent dilution of the sample.

Faster UHPLC-tier autosampler for KNAUER's PLATINblue system — sub-15-second injections (under 60 seconds with a full needle wash) aimed at high-throughput UHPLC QC/release testing, versus the AZURA line's HPLC/prep focus.

Modular autosampler for the Flexar HPLC platform; offers three injection modes (full loop, partial fill, µL sampling) with no sample waste and an optional Peltier-cooled sample compartment for temperature-sensitive QC samples.

UHPLC-tier autosampler built for the LC 300 system, using PerkinElmer's patented 7-port Intermediate Loop Decompression (ILD) valve to depressurize the loop before sampling — improving injection accuracy/reproducibility and extending column life.

Long-running, widely-deployed autosampler explicitly marketed to work with virtually any LC system, not just PerkinElmer's; upgradable to a biocompatible flow path and supports on-board dilution/derivatization/standard-addition without extra hardware.

Pre-certified 2.0 mL screw-thread vial/cap/septa kits, batch-tested for dimensional fit, septum reseal, and LC/GC extractable residue so labs can skip incoming QC. Fits the standard 2 mL vial format used across virtually all GC/LC autosampler brands.

20 mm crimp-top headspace vials in multiple volumes purpose-built for static/dynamic headspace autosamplers (HTA, CTC/PAL, Agilent, PerkinElmer); flat- or round-bottom options trade fill precision for sampler-arm clearance.

OEM-equivalent replacement syringes (Hamilton-manufactured, Restek-supplied) sized and needle-configured to match specific autosampler brands (Agilent, CTC/PAL, Thermo, HP) — buyers must match the exact syringe model to their sampler rather than use a universal part.

Shimadzu's flagship UHPLC autosampler family, sold only as part of the Nexera LC stack; the CX3 variant targets ultra-low-carryover bioanalytical/pharma QC injections.

Compact, lower-cost online-SPE autosampler positioned below Symbiosis Pharma; aimed at labs that need automated sample cleanup ahead of LC-MS/MS without flagship-level throughput.

Flagship high-throughput online SPE-LC-MS platform for direct injection of raw biological samples (e.g. plasma); switches between LC-MS, XLC-MS (online SPE), and AMD method-development modes for pharma bioanalysis labs.

Split-loop UHPLC autosampler with machine-learning-based wash-solvent monitoring and vial-bottom detection to inject from as little as 2 µL — Thermo's flagship analytical (LC) sampler for Vanquish Horizon/Flex systems, a genuinely distinct family from the GC-focused TriPlus and IC-focused Dionex.

GC/GC-MS robotic sample handler, not an LC autosampler — Automatic Tool Change lets one unit run liquid, headspace, and SPME Arrow injections plus sample-prep cycles (dilution, derivatization) in a single unattended sequence; ships with mounting kits for Thermo's own TRACE GCs and for major third-party GCs.

Ion-chromatography-dedicated autosampler with an all-PEEK flow path to avoid metal contamination of IC eluents — a genuinely distinct product family from the LC-focused Vanquish and GC-focused TriPlus, built specifically around Dionex ICS integration.

Flow-through-needle design makes the needle itself part of the high-pressure flow path, cutting dead volume and carryover — Waters' core UPLC autosampler, extendable with loop kits for larger injection volumes.

Danaher's flagship dual-arm liquid-handling workstation for genomics/proteomics/synthetic-biology workflows — a distinct product line from Cytiva's Xcellerex bioprocess sampling hardware despite the shared Danaher parent.

Hamilton's best-known liquid-handling platform, built around proprietary CO-RE tip technology and heavily used as a genomics/diagnostics automation backbone with third-party instrument integration via Hamilton's VENUS driver library.

Hamilton's newer modular flagship alongside STAR, aimed at higher-throughput, tighter-integration labs; Hamilton publishes less granular public numeric detail on Vantage than on STAR.

Tecan's long-running modular workhorse platform, widely deployed as a cross-vendor automation hub via EVOware device drivers rather than a closed single-brand system.

Tecan's current-generation flagship, positioned as the successor workhorse to Freedom EVO with a smaller footprint and FluentControl software for cross-instrument work-cell integration.

Auto-dilution flame/hydride AAS autosampler for Analytik Jena's novAA/ZEEnit spectrometer lines, performing single-step dilutions up to 1:800 to extend calibration range without manual sample prep — sold as an instrument-specific accessory rather than a cross-vendor sampler. Analytik Jena has been part of the Endress+Hauser Group since 2019.

Teledyne CETAC-built ASX-560 autosampler integrated and sold by Analytik Jena for its ICP-OES/ICP-MS instruments, with an integrated rinse station; the SimPrep variant adds inline dilution up to 1:2500 for automated calibration-standard preparation.

Flagship syringe-pump dissolution autosampler; valve-free, low-volume (4.5 mL) flow path minimizes carryover, with an optional lower-cost 'child' unit to sample a second bath independently.

Prior-generation syringe-pump dissolution sampler; single or dual 8-channel syringe pump configuration lets one unit run two independent dissolution methods with full audit logging.

Stationary refrigerated water/process sampler for continuous compliance and process monitoring (wastewater, surface water, industrial process streams), with up to 4 Memosens digital sensor channels for inline parameter logging alongside discrete bottle sampling. List pricing is quote-only per configuration.

Portable, battery-powered counterpart to the CSF48 for spot/campaign water sampling in the field (e.g. stormwater or industrial discharge audits), supporting up to 2 Memosens digital sensors and an 8 m suction lift on a 19 kg chassis.

High-capacity robotic-arm sample processor for Metrohm titration/IC workflows, handling up to 999 sample positions across racks up to 42 cm diameter with inline dilution, filtration and preconcentration under MagIC Net — locked to the Metrohm instrument/software ecosystem, not vendor-agnostic.

USB-networked robotic sample processor for parallel titration/dosing workstations, sold in 1T/2T configurations with 0–2 integrated membrane pumps; built around Metrohm's proprietary MSB device-daisy-chain interface rather than a generic automation bus.

Small-volume x-y-z autosampler for IC/HPLC optimized for speed (sub-10-second sample delivery) and micro-volumes down to 1 µL, with double-needle septum piercing and Pressure-Assisted Sample Aspiration across full-loop, partial-loop and pick-up injection modes.

Entry-tier InMotion model for lower-volume KF and titration labs; scales from large beakers to small glass tubes but only within Mettler-Toledo's own One Click instrument ecosystem.

Mid-tier InMotion model with roughly 3-4x the sample load of Flex; adds an optional barcode reader for sample tracking in regulated QC titration workflows.

Top-of-range InMotion tier built for high-throughput central labs running large unattended overnight KF/titration batches.

Modular sample manager sold as a SOTAX Xtend system component; functions as either a simple fraction collector or a full HPLC/UPLC direct-injection autosampler for dissolution testing.

Floor-standing fully automated dissolution system that self-preps media, fills vessels, samples/filters, and self-cleans unattended end-to-end — the top tier above the semi-automated ATS Xtend.

The high-capacity autosampler in CETAC's family — built to feed ICP-MS/ICP-OES/AA instruments across OEM brands (Thermo, Cytiva AKTA) rather than being locked to one analyzer vendor.

Compact sibling to the ASX-560, sized for benches with less real estate; explicitly qualified across Thermo's iCE/iCAP/Element instrument families, not a single-vendor add-on.

Liquid-handling add-on that rides on the ASX-560/280 chassis to automate dilutions, spikes and calibration curves upstream of AA/ICP-OES/ICP-MS — sample prep, not just sample delivery.

Portable field autosampler for stormwater/wastewater compliance monitoring; standalone unit (not tied to a specific analyzer ecosystem), built for manhole and field deployment rather than fixed-lab automation.

Modular portable autosampler line with 1/4/8/24-bottle distributor-arm configurations, letting one base unit scale from spot checks to full 24-bottle discrete compliance sampling.

Chemspeed's flagship modular synthesis deck — SBS-plate-based, tool-exchange architecture spans conventional, microwave, photochem and reactive-gas chemistry; vendor-agnostic by design, the closest thing to a self-driving-lab backbone in the portfolio.

Mid-tier scalable platform positioned between the entry CRYSTAL and the flagship FLEX — application-tuned for analytics/preformulation sample prep with a moving-balance gravimetric design rather than fixed liquid-handling heads.

Chemspeed's compact entry point into automation — pure gravimetric solid dispensing on a benchtop footprint, positioned as the on-ramp before a lab scales into SWING or FLEX.

Concentration + size from the same 2 µL draw — UV/Vis, DLS and SLS in one read, cutting the multi-instrument relay biologics formulation teams usually run for quantification and aggregation checks.

Dedicated high-throughput thermal/colloidal stability screener (Tm, Tagg) — narrower-purpose than the multi-modal Uncle/Aunty lines, positioned for teams that just need fast go/no-go stability ranking across formulations.

LNP/nanoparticle formulation production line, not an analyzer — Sunscreen screens formulations, Sunshine scales process development toward continuous multi-liter output, both riding on reusable glass 'Sunnies' microfluidic chips.

Unchained's 2026 entrant into generative-AI-driven lab automation — natural-language-to-workflow execution (built on Anthropic's Claude) on a fully modular deck, aimed squarely at Chemspeed's FLEX/SWING territory but differentiated by native LLM experiment design.

908 Devices sold its desktop bioprocessing/PAT line (MAVEN, MAVERICK, REBEL, ZipChip) to Repligen for $70M cash in March 2025 and refocused on handheld chemical-ID devices — it no longer competes in the benchtop bioprocess/sampling market this catalog tracks.
