Fully Automated Weighing of Liquid Substances with a Laboratory Robot

Abstract: Taking the mass of a sample is a routine operation in laboratories which is frequently repeated during data collection. In chemical industries, this operation is often done manually. A procedure for fully automatic weighing of liquid substances with a laboratory robot is presented. To demonstrate its functionality and a possible application, the laboratory robot was used to create test samples for calibration of a gas chromatograph. The achieved accuracy is greater than that of careful manual weighing. The pre… Show more

“…In this work, the weighing of the sample and of the ISTD as well as the mixing were carried out manually. To reduce the manual labour further, these preparation steps can be carried out very accurately by a laboratory robot as described by Werner et al 41 The possibility to conduct the whole analysis process including the sample preparation and the GC analysis automatically makes this method very interesting when large numbers of samples have to be investigated such as in screening experiments.…”

“…Even though the set-up is ubiquitous, the optimum extraction conditions which maximizes solid-liquid extraction with minimal energy input and costs has not identified [40,41]. For identifying optimal conditions of a solid-liquid extraction, a laboratory robot provides a systematic and highly reproducible process development [42][43][44]. Temperature, pH value, and solvent composition influence not only extraction kinetics and pseudostationary equilibrium but also solubility and stability of the extracted secondary metabolites [45,46].…”

“…Both stock solutions were added in different ratios to the vials containing the adsorber using a fully automated liquid weighing laboratory robot. Details on the set-up are described in Werner et al (2014). The initial OA concentrations were between 0.1 mg/g and 5 mg/g and are known with an accuracy of better than 0.3 mg/g.…”
