Dilab accu sampler system
The DiLab AccuSampler Standard is a fully automated system for Automated Blood Sampling (ABS) in freely moving rodents such as rat, guinea pig, hamster etc. The system handles sample volumes between 50 and 250 l.
A displacement pump handles the blood sampling with great accuracy and precision. The built in pressure sensors allow for the verification of the sampling process. The AccuSampler Standard is equipped with a 32 position rack for 1 ml plastic sample tubes. Custom rack types are available on request. The collected samples can be cooled if desired.
The system has two separate liquid flow paths. The injection flow is operated with a syringe pump through which test formulations can be injected according to any desired time protocol. It is possible to perform bolus injections as well as a continuous infusion.
The AccuSampler also presents the option of Dual Sampling e.g. two samples taken simultaneously from two different vessels - for instance before and after the liver. For dual sampling the AccuSampler is equipped with two completely separated tubing systems and dual sample racks, with no risk for cross contamination.
