The ANP System is equipped with two Quad Pumps – automated two-channel syringe pumps designed to aspirate fluids from a source bottle and dispense into a system. This is how the ANP System ensures accurate dosing, a continuous flow and consistent nanoparticle generation.
Operating Pressure: 0 to 10 bar
Pressure Resolution : 0.1 bar
Flow Rate Range: 50μl to 10ml/min
Fluidic Tubing Output Connections
Input: 3.2mm OD x 1.5 mm ID
Output: 1.6mm OD x 0.8mm ID
Working Temperature Range (external): 5 °C to 40 °C
The PW Automated Sample Valve (ASV) features chemically resistant valves (6 port, 2 position) enabling direct injection of fluids into interchangeable sample loops.
Operating Pressure: 0 to 20 bar
Sample loop sizes: 1 , 5 and 10 ml
Fluidic port connections: 10-32 valve ports (Luer fitting for sample loading)
Fluidic port fittings: PEEK 10-32 Fittings with 1/16"
CTFE Ferrules
Working Temperature Range (external): 5 °C to 40 °C
The Pressurized Fluid Store (PFS) holds up to 4 x 250 ml bottles for the use of air and moisture sensitive reagents under a pressurized inert atmosphere, and assists in delivering an extremely smooth flow by minimizing input cavitation and gas bubble formation during pumping at high flow rates
Accepted pressure range of the gas input: 0 - 10 bar
Regulated output pressure (to bottles): 1 bar
Accepted gasses: Compressed Air, Nitrogen, Argon
The Automated Collector enables fully automated collection of single and multiple reactions. Excess solvent can be dispensed into a waste container automatically to prevent contamination in the outlet channels. Capable of being fitted with a range of rack sizes, the Automated Collector can collect a wide range of volumes to suit the experimental process.
The 3-way valve automatically switches from waste to collection as the product
arrives at the Automated Collector allowing walk-away synthesis of multiple
reactions with precise collection volumes.
Dr Julia Rashba-Step, Vice President of Research & Development and Alliance Management at Phosphorex, commented: “Having evaluated all available options for nanoparticle screening and optimization, the ANP System offers the best solution for us. We use it daily for nanoparticle formulation and process optimization as it provides robust and reproducible results - enabling us to deliver complex projects on time against aggressive deadlines. Having worked with the (now Particle Works) team for a few years, we have complete faith in their capabilities. We appreciate their willingness to work with customers to improve results, and their customer service is excellent.”
