How it Works
The FUTURA 3 console is capable of running a variety of analytical methods using different Continuous Flow Analysis techniques. From simple colorimetric assays to complex in-line distillations and digestions, users can pick from a library of both micro-bore and macro-bore CFA methods.
To perform a Continuous Flow Analysis, the FUTURA 3 console must be combined with an autosampler that will receive all the samples, and, if required, a series of sample preparation systems based on the chosen method. All external modules can be controlled by the FUTURA software using the Auto Module (optional).
Sample preparation and operation are fully automated, including those for the most complex chemistries; dialysis, distillation, UV digestion, injection, dilution, mixing, incubation and liquid/liquid extraction - all Inline, all 100% automated. Plus, the fully automated process includes programmable start-up and shut-down, preparation of standard solutions, pre- and post-dilution of off-scale samples, and automatic rinsing.
System Components
Each FUTURA 3 console integrates a high precision 3-speed peristaltic pump (medium, fast (startup and washout more speed) and slow (for low consumption of reagents)), a removable drawer for reagents, an analytical manifold, a heater, a detector, and a built-in display for the presentation of essential diagnostics data.
Accessories
Software
The FUTURA 3 analytical software is dedicated to the CFA technology: it prepares calibration standards, runs samples and quality controls, dilutes any off-scale samples, prints reports and QC charts, exports data to LIMS, washes out the manifold and shuts down.
User-friendly, efficient and powerful, the software has been designed to simplify your day-to-day operation. It runs the analysis of all parameters on each channel (up to 14 channels), and drives auto-samplers and accessories for automatic sample preparation.
During analysis, the software monitors the system’s vital signs (heating bath temperature, voltages, detector outputs) and alerts the user to any problem.
