1.2 Intended use
The 815 Robotic Soliprep for LC is designed for the automatic analysis of
larger-sized sample series in analytical laboratories. The functioning of the
automation system comprises crushing, homogenizing and dissolving of
solid samples as well as filtering and transferring the resulting sample solu-
tions. Its main area of application is the sample preparation in instrumental
chromatography. It is not suitable for usage in biochemical, biological or
medical environments in its basic equipment version.
The present instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable
samples. The usage of the 815 Robotic Soliprep for LC therefore requires
that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling of toxic
and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the application of the
fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.
