Robotic Procedure
Requirements of Analyst
- weigh 50 mg of compound into (16x100) capped tubes and loads them into orbital shaker rack.
- Set desired vortexing and sampling times
- Press Start!
Robotic Operations:
- Robot adds 1 mL of four different salt buffers into each tube in sets of five and returns them to the rack.
- Solutions vortex at slow speed for a prescribed period of time
- During that period, at predetermined time intervals the robot will individually take each tube to the custom pH station, first do a standardization routine pH 2-7-10 followed by a pH reading of the solution using a micro probe.
