AS Autosampler

The Dionex ICS-3000^TM AS Autosampler provides flexibility, high precision, reliability, ruggedness, and ease of use. Automation has never been more powerful.

Free up your schedule and lab time with automated sample handling for your IC.
Improve productivity and throughput with innovative, simultaneous, and sequential sampling modes.
Improve your results with automated sample preparation.
Eliminate complex laboratory procedures with automated standard preparation.

Key Features Provide Performance and Versatility

Perform full loop, partial loop, limited sample, sample preparation, sample dilution, pre-column derivatization, matrix elimination, sample pre-concentration, and more.
Consistent operation at RSDs of less than 0.3%
Specially designed 10-mL polystyrene sample vials with wide openings that are easy to fill, easy to handle, and permit large-volume injections
Well Plate ready for limited sample and high through-put applciations.
Easy access to components for effective troubleshooting
All-PEEK flow paths that ensure compatibility with aqueous and reversed-phase eluents and protect sensitive samples from metallic contamination
Control through Chromeleon^®, or module front panel
Moving-needle design to guarantee reliable sampling from a variety of vial sizes
Easy syringe priming
Sample Prep option that saves time and labor by automating your sample and standard preparations
Sample tray temperature control option for thermally sensitive samples that offers precise, reliable control over a temperature range of 4–60 °C
