Cintra Sampling Accessories

1 x 1 cell holders for specialised applications

• Micro-cell holder with simple adjustment of horizontal and vertical position for maximising light throughput.
• Variable path length cell holder for rectangular cells with path lengths between 5 and 100 mm.
• Cylindrical cell holder with simple spring clip action. Holds cells of up to 100 mm path length.
• Slide/solid sample holder for solid samples up to 10 mm thick.

Sample changers for increased sample throughput

Two types of sample changer are available. They provide speed and precision in the positioning of your samples for fast and accurate measurements of sample batches.
All sample changers are fully computer controlled, providing random access to all positions, taking less than one second to move between adjacent cells.

Dual Carousel sample changers

The 7 x 7 sample changer is available in standard and water-thermostatted versions. A 6 x 6 sample changer with a Peltier effect thermocell is also available for high stability temperature control, including temperature gradients. The dual carousel sample changer offers two modes of operation:

• 7 x 7 (or 6 x 6) mode for measuring 7(6) samples against 7(6) references.
• 12 x 2 (or 10 x 2) mode for measuring up to 12(10) samples in true double beam mode against 2 reference solutions.

Thermostattable cell holders for temperature-sensitive analyses

Water-thermostatted cell holders are available in single cell or sample changer (linear or carousel) configurations. When connected to a constant-temperature circulating water bath, these cell holders ensure constant temperature.

For precise and rapid temperature control, a range of Peltier effect thermocells is available in single cell or sample changer (linear or carousel) configurations. Peltier effect controllers are useful in applications where an accurate constant temperature or an accurate controlled temperature ramp is required. Optional sample immersion probes are available for accurate monitoring of the true sample temperature.

High speed SDS3000 auto sampler for increased productivity

Used with the auto sipper, the SDS3000 auto sampler provides high speed automated analysis. Samples are contained in four racks, permitting different tube sizes within a batch. The auto sampler is totally controlled by the software via an easy-to-use interface. A built-in variable speed peristaltic pump provides a continuous stream of clean rinse solution.

Total Integrating Sphere

The total integrating sphere is ideal for measuring the total reflectance from solid samples such as plastics, paper, textiles and coated surfaces. The sphere provides a transmission position, making it suitable for the measurement of turbid or scattering samples. Spheres are available up to 800 nm for standard DRS applications and the DRS 1150 for NIR applications up to 1,150 nm.

6 x 1 Linear Movement sample changer

The 6 x 1 linear movement sample changer provides the ultimate in sample changer flexibility. Allowing up to 6 samples to be measured in batch mode against a single reference solution, the sample changer can be fitted with a range of 6 x 1 cell holders, including standard, variable path length, water thermostatted and Peltier effect thermocell versions.

Auto Sipper for automatic sample introduction

The auto sipper removes the need for cell handling. Sample introduction is as easy as a simple button press. The accessory features computer controlled pump times, and the ability to be used with a number of flow-cell types, including micro-cells. Standard, water-thermostatted and Peltier effect thermocell versions are available.
