Bringing Industrial Automation to Your Laboratory!
The HF-AT Oxo by HF Innovation is a fully automated laboratory system for analysing long-chain alcohols. It enables reliable and efficient determination of key quality parameters such as saponification value and carbonyl number.
By automating dosing, temperature control, and titration, the system minimises manual intervention while enhancing process safety, consistency and traceability in laboratory workflows.
- Fully automated analysis without manual intervention during operation.
- Enhanced laboratory safety through closed reagent and waste handling.
- Complete traceability through automatic process logging.
- Standardised workflows reduce operator errors and improve result consistency.
- Significant workload reduction for laboratory staff handling high sample volumes.
- Supports customer-supplied media and waste containers with venting and refill interfaces.
- Simultaneous processing on 7 heated stirrer stations for maximum throughput.
- Reusable, self-cleaning pipette system ensures precision and reduces consumable costs.
- Handles three different bottle sizes for flexible sample handling.
- Easy-Fill media connectors simplify setup and changeover.
- Direct integration with customer-side media and waste containers, including optional venting and refill lines.
- Compact, low-maintenance design enables reliable, continuous operation.
- Sample bottles are loaded via an ergonomic drawer system that supports three different bottle sizes.
- A priority drawer enables preferential processing of urgent samples.
- Automated methanol dosing into an Erlenmeyer flask with an integrated stirrer.
- Sample is dispensed using a reusable pipette with a drip catcher, followed by automatic cleaning.
- Depending on the method, hydroxylamine or potassium hydroxide is dosed automatically.
- The flask is placed on one of seven heated stirrer stations.
- A reflux condenser captures vapors and returns them to the flask, with automatic methanol flushing.
- The sample is then cooled in a circulating water bath.
- Finally, titration with hydrochloric acid is performed to determine the saponification value and carbonyl number.
