Automated Konelab Loader
Labman have designed and installed a number of Labmedic's Konelab/Aquakem loading systems that automatically load bottled samples and transfer the sample to the Konelab via Labmedic's 'KUSTI Arm' attachment.

Sample bottles are loaded offline into removeable trolleys and wheeled into the system, this allows almost non-stop operation of the system with minimal setup time.
Potable water bottles are de-capped and presented to the Aquakem Kusti arm for sub-sampling. Test information is passed to the Aquakem unit via the systems 'ASTM' link and allows each sample to be processed with any combination of tests.
The data for the Aquakem is provided by a Labman link and can be compiled from bar codes, LIMS ID queries and operator defaults. Standards and blanks are locally programmed and automatic.
Labman can handle a number of sample bottles types (please enquire).
The cycle time for picking a bottle, bar code reading, de-capping, presentation to the Aquakem and re-capping/replacement is 45 seconds allowing 100 samples to be presented in an hour and a quarter.
Aquakem results are passed directly to the LIMS with their respective sample ID. Options include larger sample capacities and trolleys, sub-sampling for off-line analysis and on-line physical chemistry analysis.
A graphical user interface allows the operator to see the current status of the system at all times and lists which samples have been processed, those that remain and details any warnings applicable to each bottle.
