r-APID-T Discrete Analyzer

 

Astoria-Pacific offers an incredibly versatile, affordable, and fully automated system

The advantages of this system are numerous:

  • Multiple analyses can be run with no physical changes to the system
  • The operator can select what analyses he/she would like to run on each sample
  • Reagent consumption is even lower than our Astoria and Astoria2 systems, generally ~ 5 – 60 uL
  • In-line dilution of above-range samples and in-line standards prep from a single stock standard are included
  • Periodic maintenance is reduced because of the elimination of pump tubes, transmission tubing, dialysis membranes, etc.
  • The software is more intuitive and provides complete control of the system’s components.
  • Affordable! For small, medium or large-scale labs!

 

With a colorimetric detector, 40 place sample rack, a 10  place reagent tray, and quick analysis rates of up to 200 tests per hour, the rAPID-T makes quick work of many common tests like:

  • Alkalinity
  • Ammonia
  • Chloride
  • Chlorine
  • Cyanide (Post Dist.)
  • HexChrome
  • Nitrate (by Enzymatic or Vanadium)
  • Nitrite
  • Phenol (Post Dist.)
  • OPhos
  • Silica
  • Sulfate
  • TKN
  • Total Nitrogen (Pers. Digest)
  • Total Phosphorus (Pers. Digest)

In the Beer/Wine Industry a majority of our clients test for:

  • Acetic Acid
  • Acetaldehyde
  • Ammonia
  • Glucose+Fructose
  • Free Sulfite
  • Malic Acid
  • NOPA
  • Total Sulfite

The system is durable, affordable, and can be used in a winery or brewery of any size. Current clients using the system range from 3000 – 500000+ cases a year.

rAPID-T software quickly analyzes your samples. It can dilute any samples that than are above range, and/or you can have the system pre-dilute them as needed. Values can be uploaded into the software’s integrated QC database and viewed in user-defined charts. A graphical display of the system provides real-time info such as samples in progress, time left for analysis, sample concentrations already collected, warnings of low reagent, etc.
