Fast Dissolution and Pipetting Under Argon

With MOSS® 2002, the modular sample preparation system, Zinsser Analytic has bridged the gap between huge library stores of hundreds of thousands of samples and High Throughput Screening laboratories. The new MOSS® 2002 is extremely fast due to 8 independently spacing tips with high speed movement in the x, y & z axes. It ergonomically combines modern weighing technology and sophisticated software to automate library sample, weighing & dissolution with assay and storage plate preparation.

A little water in DMSO greatly decreases compound solubility. Therefore to minimize the risk of compound precipitation the entire dissolution step is performed under argon. With its enhanced technology it is not necessary to flood the entire system with argon thus keeping the cost and weight of the instrument to a minimum. Tilting dissolution vials offer complete retrieval of sample material. The system is capable to dissolve and distribute 384 samples to up to 6 destination racks in ca 90 minutes by using "parallel processing".

The compact design, its high throughput, reliability and easy integration into existing infrastructures have made it the system of choice for high throughput testing laboratories. With an integrated camera module the dissolution status can be documented.
