LOI Weigher

LIGNIN’s Automated LOI Weighing System–with 480 positions–can capture up to 2400 sample weights per hour with greater accuracy and precision than is possible when done manually. Not to mention it liberates lab technicians from performing that tedious task.

Process

Load.

Operator loads trays onto the heated platform which minimizes moisture accumulation.

Calibrate.

Tare weight of each empty crucible is captured by rugged Scientech ZSA 80 balances with accuracy of ± 0.1 mg, then crucibles are returned to trays to allow operator to fill with soil samples.

Weigh.

Process is repeated to capture dry weight, after which the operator removes sample trays for combustion.

Weigh Again.

Trays are returned to platform and ash weights are captured.

Calculate.

System applies a user-customizable formula to calculate amount of lost organic matter and values are displayed in real time.

Repeat.

Values are exported as a LIMS compatible file, and the system is ready to go again.

Since we've had the robotic weigher, one person was able to do the work of three people.

I don't know, but that LOI is just sexy.
