Enhancing Precision and Efficiency in High-Throughput Environments

Translating manual laboratory expertise into high-throughput automated solutions can be challenging, especially when simple tasks like vortex mixing or bead releasing require extra care during automation. In this video, we explain how Malvern Panalytical adapts existing XRF methods for use in automated laboratories, delivering consistent, precise results with minimal human intervention.

Our goal is to ensure automated sample preparation matches—or even exceeds—the accuracy of manual methods. This includes everything from the automated preparation of pressed pellets to the creation of fused beads for XRF analysis. By minimizing human error, automation not only boosts the precision and consistency of analysis but also significantly enhances laboratory throughput—ensuring more results with fewer resources.

Key Highlights:

– Challenges of adapting manual XRF methods for automation
– Precision in automated sample preparation, from pressed pellets to fused beads
– Collaboration across engineering, software, and analytical teams
– Benefits of automation: increased throughput and reduced need for specialized staff
