MANTECH goes beyond manufacturing analyzers that simply automate analysis processes with additional automation features that enhance efficiency and reduce challenges. Here’s how this appears through MANTECH’s MT Series Analyzers:
Robust and Modular Hardware
MANTECH’s autosamplers have self-lubricating axes which means there is no downtime to maintain the autosampler. There is only one single anchor point, hence no binding occurs. They use robotics typically used by the automotive industry, making them durable for continuous use.
Although the autosamplers do not need maintenance, the tubing on the analyzers will need to be replaced with regular use. The modular design of MANTECH systems makes changing the tubing easy. Since the modules are off the shelf, users have the flexibility to add more automation in the future. For example, adding turbidity to an existing pH analysis system.
User-Friendly Software
MANTECH’s in-house software development team designed MANTECH Pro software with customers in mind with its user-friendly interface. Actions within the software are accessible even as a system is running analyses. This includes viewing live titration curves and live calibrations, setting up new runs, retrieving historical data and more. A built-in Help Menu helps users navigate the software. It is also context-sensitive, therefore, it will automatically populate helpful tips for whatever section of the software that the user is in.
Protecting Samples
Safety Enclosure or Shield
To protect the samples from the environment and protect analysts from the robot movements and reagent fumes, customers have the option to add a safety shield or enclosure to their system. The shield covers the front and sides of the system while the enclosure also covers the back and top of the system.
Sample Caps
If samples require caps on them, customers have the choice of adding and removing them manually or they can automate capping and uncapping with MANTECH’s AM500 series autosamplers. This includes unscrewing/screwing and MANTECH’s SampleProtect magnetic caps.
Speeding Up Analysis
Multi-Channel Analysis
It can be challenging to measure hundreds of samples to meet strict timelines even with automation. One option is to purchase an additional analyzer. For companies with limited bench space, MANTECH offers multi-channel analysis, allowing two or more samples and parameters to be measured simultaneously, reducing analysis time per sample on a single system.
