FASTFluidic FilterProbe Overview
High-Throughput Analysis with High Speed Rinse
Reduce Clogs & Maintenance. Maximize Throughput.
FASTFluidic FilterProbe from Elemental Scientific is a 4th generation valve injection system that redefines high-throughput ICP workflows. With multiple patented innovations, it uniquely delivers throughput equal to or exceeding conventional injection methods while eliminating the clogging and maintenance limitations that constrain existing systems.
- FilterProbe prevents particulates from entering the sample flowpath, reducing valve and nebulizer maintenance
- Syringe-driven backflushing automatically clears captured particulates during analysis
- Eliminate autosampler translation movement with mobile RidingRinse Station
- High capacity 4DXW Autosampler - more samples than a 6-rack autosampler
See It In Action
FASTFluidic FilterProbe rapidly loads samples through an inert free-flowing filter positioned at the top of the probe, catching all particulates and fibers without restricting sample loading. SampleSense 3 optically confirms successful sample loading and immediately injects the sample for analysis. During analysis, the FilterProbe is syringe-backflushed into RidingRinse, automatically removing retained particulates and clearing the probe for the next sample. Probe rinsing can be applied when required with minimal impact on sample-to-sample throughput.
Applications
FASTFluidic FilterProbe Applications
FASTFluidic FilterProbe is designed for ultra high-throughput ICP and ICPMS workflows across Soil, Oil, Mineral and Clinical laboratories.
Agricultural Soil Analysis
Accurate determination of plant-available micronutrients in soil is necessary to assess whether levels are likely to limit crop growth. FASTFluidic FilterProbe Soil minimizes ICP carryover and improves rinse out, resulting in accurate agricultural soil micronutrient analysis without sacrificing high-throughput.
- >500x rinse out factor
- <10 seconds sample-to-sample
- ≤3 second integration time
Oil and Lubricant Analysis
High-throughput ICP analysis of oils and lubricants can be prone to clogging and variability caused by sample settling and viscosity differences. FASTFluidic FilterProbe Oil solves these issues by preventing nebulizer and valve clogs, homogenizing samples immediately prior to analysis, and automatically adjusting sample loading and injection to accommodate viscosity and density variations.
- Inline, free-flowing filter catches particulates - preventing clogs
- Flow-controlled gas mixes samples immediately before analysis
- 15 seconds sample-to-sample
- SampleSense 3 accounts for varying sample densities and viscosities
Ore-Grade Gold Analysis
FASTFluidic FilterProbe effectively resolves the main throughput and reliability challenges in ore-grade gold analysis. By preventing particle-driven clogs, enabling rapid sample-to-sample time, and maintaining low carryover even in difficult matrices, the system delivers cleaner baselines, faster washout, and significantly higher operational uptime.
- 13 seconds sample-to-sample for 1000x Au rinseout (0.1%)
- Syringe-driven 5% HCl Rinse
- Backflushing CTFE FilterProbe prevents clogs
- RidingRinse accessed in <0.5 seconds
