Top Advantages of Automated Sample Preparation Systems

Automated Sample Preparation Systems are transforming how labs handle routine liquid workflows, replacing repetitive manual steps with clean, traceable automation.

Why Labs Are Moving to Automated Sample Preparation Systems

From pharmaceuticals to food testing, modern labs face tight timelines, strict compliance, and growing sample volumes. Manual injection and timed sampling consume expert labor, introduce variability, and raise contamination risk. As a manufacturer, Raytor sees these pain points on customer floors. Our answer is practical automation that boosts consistency without expanding bench space.

Automation stabilizes results and the workday. Methods run the same way each time, records are easy to review, and cleaning is consistent. Managers gain predictable throughput. Scientists regain time for analysis instead of babysitting instruments. The impact is immediate in regulated environments, where audit trails and repeatability matter.

✅  Pain points Raytor Eliminates

•Reduced variability from manual pipetting and timing

•Fewer touch points, lowering carryover and contamination risk

•Automatic cleaning after runs to prevent residue build-up

•Lower labor costs by removing routine injection and refilling

•Consistent, reviewable records for QA and compliance

Inside Raytor's RT-Auto Series: Practical Advantages You'll Feel

Raytor's RT-Auto Series mini liquid sample processors deliver multi-channel liquid sample automation processing solutions in a compact footprint. An intelligent control system runs injections and scheduled sampling without manual intervention. The system supports remote operation via an external touch screen to minimize exposure and prevent contamination. It is corrosion-resistant and can house an ultra-clean bench internally, saving valuable space.

Flexible channel architecture scales with your workload. Configure 4-12 processing channels and expand sample trays from 20 up to 180 positions. Need to work through sealed containers? The platform supports puncture of vial caps, including liquid chromatography vial caps, enabling clean access without extra handling. For workflows that depend on repeatable volumes, a high-precision injection pump helps secure accurate results, with injection or sampling errors controlled to ±1% under supported conditions.

In short, these micro liquid sample processors make routine tasks fast, accurate, and quiet in the background - so teams can focus on science, not setup.

✅  RT-AD: Precision Injection, Clean Results

RT-AD is built for accurate liquid injection in varied vial sizes. It supports a standard injection channel (with customizable channel counts) and a 0.45 µm, 22 mm OD filter. The 1-100 mL injection volume range covers small tests through larger additions. With a 10 mL syringe pump, injection accuracy reaches ±0.1 mL. You can execute up to 20 injection points per run and work with 10, 20, 50, or 100 mL vials (and others). Method storage holds ≥500 methods, authorization is managed with level-1 access (customizable), record viewing is supported, and automatic cleaning is built in for quick turnovers.

Where it fits: visible foreign-matter inspection pre-treatments, purified-water automatic injection, and precise dosing steps in chemical and semiconductor QA.

✅  RT-AS: High-Throughput Sampling with Traceable Control

RT-AS focuses on scheduled, repeatable sampling. It ships with 12 sampling channels (customizable) and an adapter for 0.45 µm, 22 mm OD filters. The 1-20 mL sampling volume range covers common assays. With a 10 mL syringe pump, sampling accuracy is ±0.1 mL. You can define 20 sampling points, store ≥500 methods, and use two authorization levels by default (more on request). It supports 1.5 mL liquid vials and 10 mL test tubes, includes automatic cleaning, and records are easy to review.

Where it fits: automatic timing collection from shakers for pharmaceuticals, fermentation, cell culture, and biochemical reactions, plus upgrades to the sampling and rehydration steps on manual dissolution apparatus from major brands.

Key Wins with Automated Sample Preparation Systems

In regulated labs, consistency is revenue. Automated Sample Preparation Systems standardize complex handling routines so every sequence runs as planned. Pre-treatment workflows for ophthalmic preparations, injections, and sterile raw materials benefit from low-touch dosing and reliable filtration. Food and chemical labs gain traceable sampling at set intervals, which strengthens trend analysis. Semiconductor environments profit from space-saving design and corrosion resistance, where clean operation is non-negotiable.

Raytor systems also accelerate method development. With large method storage and clear record viewing, teams can iterate quickly and lock in validated sequences. Expanded channels and tray capacity mean labs scale throughput without reshaping the bench. And because cleaning is automatic, teams spend less time resetting and more time producing data.

Not every step needs a bullet list - what matters is flow. Your operators load vials and define methods. The system performs automatic injection, sampling, and refilling as required, punctures vial caps when needed, and cleans itself after the experiment. That is the quiet power of thoughtful automation.
