AMETEK Grabner Instruments, a leading manufacturer of analytical laboratory testing equipment, is pleased to launch the new MINIFLASH FPA Vision Autosampler, the latest addition to the Vision-series product line. The FPA is an automated accessory specifically developed for use with any MINIFLASH FP Vision analyser. Its modular design creates scalability, giving the option to expand with an autosampler at any time. Full-compatibility with Grabner’s Vision-series of flashpoint analysers allows a single autosampler to handle flashpoint measurements between -13° and 752°F (-25° and 400°C) and exchanging analysers takes seconds.

MINIFLASH FPA Vision provides a sample position increase of 50% over the previous generation FLA model, which in turn means less-frequent carousel changes and longer, uninterrupted runtime. This resource efficiency translates to increased profitability from FP-Vision analysers as daily sample-throughput can be significantly increased while reducing cost of operation.

With a benchtop footprint of only ~1.9 ft² (0.18 m²), the FPA maintains Grabner’s focus on “mini methods”. Its industrial-grade coatings, electronics, motors, and hardware provide a robust design that is suited for continuous operation in the busiest laboratories and harsh environments. The MINIFLASH FPA Vision comes equipped with liquid cooling ports, allowing an external chiller to regulate the sample drawer’s internal temperature. Grabner Instruments has raised the bar for their class-defining flashpoint autosamplers by creating unmatched scalability, durability, and simplicity through innovation.

Key Features:

  • 12-position Sample Carousel – highest sample throughput flashpoint autosampler available
  • Small Footprint - With a benchtop footprint of only ~1.9 ft² (0.18 m²), the FPA consumes minimal bench space and maintains Grabner’s focus on the “mini methods”.
  • Modular Design – Autosampler can be combined with any MINIFLASH FP VISION series analyser
  • Cabinet Cooling – When external liquid cooling is connected, sample cabinet temperature can be controlled. During continuous operation in harsh environments, maintaining a controlled internal environment ensures that samples will not be exposed to elevated temperatures.
