Uses spectral analysis technology to optimize sensitivity while simplifying application design and workflow.

Unique 3D plate motion technology enables the plate (and sample) to move in horizontal and vertical directions to eliminate the need for cumbersome fluidics and their associated sample-to-sample cross-contamination. In addition, built-in, adjustable mixing mechanisms help maintain sample heterogeneity and optimal CVs between samples.

The SA3800 features automation across the workflow, including automated alignment and a software calibration wizard to simplify operation and improve the reliability of results.
