Alltesta Mini-Autosampler
The Alltesta™ Mini-Autosampler, jointly developed by SIELC Technologies and Newcrom Inc., is a cost-effective solution for automated liquid sample handling in various environments, including HPLC. Its compact design and customizable configurations make it ideal for space-limited areas and mobile instrumentation settings. Key features include small size, flexible configuration, and sample mixing capabilities.
Custom configurations can include metal-free liquid path, reagents addition, different valve configurations, different needle length, different syringe pump capacities and accuracy, different tray configurations with capacity of 48 vials or 96 and 384 wells plates. Also such options as enclosure color scheme and custom logo can be provided for OEM customers.
The Alltesta™ Mini-Autosampler is known for its precision and versatility, making it an essential asset in both modern laboratories and diverse analytical environments. It accommodates a broad spectrum of applications, from routine testing to more complex analyses, positioning it as a key tool for labs and analytical settings requiring a reliable and efficient sample handling solution.
Software Options
- The autosampler is controlled by a serial commands set. An open comprehensive protocol is provided for customers who want to develop their own control software.
- Adapt the Alltesta™ Mini-Autosample to your specific requirements. The design is flexible in two ways - a variety of hardware options, including valve configurations, tray designs, syringe volumes, needle length, vial type and volume; the software provides for the developer a full operational control of every module of the autosampler.
- Full software integration support is provided for qualified customers.
Unique Key Features
- Built-In Shaking Feature: Insure sample homogenicity with sample mixing before injection; or do sample extraction directly within the vial; or efficiently quench the sample with a quench reagent precisely delivered by the pump to the vial.
- Compact Design: Save valuable bench space without compromising performance. Can be used in compact mobile applications without adding too much weight.
- Direct Control: Achieve seamless integration with your existing systems through serial commands, with a comprehensive command library provided, allowing you to easily manage and automate liquid sample handling to enhance your laboratory operations.
- OEM Customization: Adapt the Alltesta™ Mini-Autosampler to your specific system with options for custom shapes, colors, and vial sizes.

Versatile Capabilities
Fraction Collection
With a simple software modification, the Alltesta™ Mini-Autosampler can function as a fraction collector, enabling fractions to be individually collected in designated vials.
Reactor Probe Sampling
A simple software modification can quickly convert this small autosampler into a reactor probe sampler.
Consecutive Sample Feeding
In many situations such spectrometers as NMR and MS need to be loaded periodically with a series of samples with minimum distance from the sample to a detector. The Alltesta autosampler due to its small size can be placed close to the measuring cell which minimises the sample spreading and measurements delay.
Reagent Addition
Integrated reagent and sampling dilution and mixing capabilities allows to prepare samples for the next step in the analytical workflow.
Fluidic Device Loading
This autosampler application allows users to automate sample storage and delivery to a micro fluidic device (chip). An accurate sample volume that can be adjusted by the user can be delivered to a line connected to the chip.
seqFISH+ Support
This autosampler application allows users to automate RNA fluorescent marker delivery to a Sequential Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (seqFISH+) system with access to multiple buffers to maintain accurate fluorescence and piping conditions.
Industry Applications
Environmental Monitoring
Perfect for sampling of environmental probes, enabling reliable and accurate monitoring of water, air, and soil quality.
Pharmaceutical Testing
Provides precise sample handling for pharmaceutical analysis, improving accuracy and throughput in drug formulation, dissolution, and quality control testing.
Food and Beverage Analysis
Efficiently processes samples for food safety, quality testing, and flavor profile analysis.
Biotech and Research
Supports research labs by automating sample preparation and handling, reducing human error, and increasing the speed of experimental workflows.
Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratories
Ensures accurate and automated sample handling for diagnostic assays, improving lab productivity and sample throughput.
