ADS 2, auto dilution system

Features

Autocalibration Assistant can recommend calibration standards and calculate the dilution factors required to accurately create each standard at the required concentration
Optimized sample analysis times as samples not requiring dilution bypass the dilutor, ensuring maximum throughput
Customized Analyte Dilution Lists allow you to exclude elements from triggering over-range dilution, as required, avoiding unnecessary dilutions
Results summary that selects the optimal results for a set of sample measurements, simplifying data analysis and reporting
Simplified method setup with parameter settings optimized for tubing and sample loop length ensuring you are up and running as soon as possible
Small footprint for close coupling with the ICP and autosampler, allowing you to minimize tubing lengths and maximize sample throughput
Real-time flow-path animation shows the direction of flow for sample, internal standard, rinse, diluent, and carrier solutions, giving you total visibility during setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting
Comprehensive Help and Learning Center to aid quick setup, simplify user training, and troubleshooting
Early Maintenance Feedback that automatically indicates when cleaning and maintenance is required, with traffic light color-coding of counters to quickly show which activities need attention
Instrument tests verify operational status giving you total confidence in the operation of your hardware

How It Works

Automatic Standard Preparation

Automatically prepare calibration standards for your sample analysis from purchased or lab-prepared stock solutions. Utilize the autocalibration assistant to specify the calibration range and desired number of standards. The ADS 2 autodilutor can prepare up to 400-fold dilutions, minimizing reagent handling, enhancing safety, and reducing contamination.

Automatic Prescriptive Dilution

Streamlining sample preparation is crucial in analytical labs. Pre-analysis dilutions of common samples (such as soil, seawater, and chemicals) consume significant analyst hours. Prescriptive autodilution automates this process, freeing up time for more valuable tasks. The ADS 2 ensures precise sample delivery to the ICP at a user-defined dilution factor, enhancing result quality and reducing labware usage.

Automatic Reactive Dilution

In less predictable samples like groundwater and wastewater, analyte concentrations often surpass the method’s calibration or linear range. At the same time, unexpectedly high matrix samples can lead to internal standard failure, necessitating time-wasting, post-analysis dilution, and re-analysis. Agilent’s ADS 2 intelligently calculates the required dilution factor to ensure samples fall within the valid calibration range. The results summary report then selects and displays optimal results for each element, streamlining data review.
