This bespoke standalone automated system has been designed for the Centre of Process Innovation (CPI) in Sedgefield. The system uses an LED fiber-optic sensor to assess the light transmission through samples in a vial. The system is manually loaded with two different 17mm diameter tall clear glass vial types. The racks accommodate 192 vials and has been designed to ensure that the vials are aligned perfectly in a vertical orientation for optimal light transmission. The robot can analyse up to 180 vials per hour.
