CAV-X

CAV-X offers Flexible Configuration for Evolving Lab Needs.

Contact us for details
Description

The CAV-X is designed to scale with your lab’s varying capacity and temperature requirements. It offers enhanced flexibility and a future-ready feature set. Features include support for all tray/vial options, variable temperature range and options such as optical sensors and Vial Wash. These allow the system to adapt easily as test needs change.

CAV-X is best for multi-product labs that need flexible configuration and room to adapt as testing requirements change.

 

Features and Benefits
Tray Heat
Provides automated pre-heating of samples, enabling viscous materials to reach test-ready conditions efficiently. The result is reliable handling and analysis of even the most viscous samples.
TargetHeat™
Protects all samples from overheating by targeting only those which need thermal conditioning. This maintains sample stability and ensures accurate, repeatable test results.
WashPort™
Enables efficient tube-tip cleaning without drawing the entire sample into the viscometer. This improves throughput, reduces solvent consumption, boosts sample retention and waste handling workflows.
Vial Wash
Thoroughly cleans vials to allow their reuse and proper waste handling. It ensures hazardous residues are removed and directed to the correct waste stream.
Start Optimization
Improves throughput via a guided routine that automatically establishes the appropriate thermal soak and sample draw settings for each sample type, which is recalled for future use.
Run True
Delivers real-time monitoring of potential sample artifacts, such as bubbles and sag during the sample draw and drop phases. Automatically adjusts to eliminate these effects and mark the data record for valuable insights on consistent results.
CleanBoost™
Gives precise control of solvent handling, volume and cleaning action, as it also allows users to save tailored recipes for each application. This targeted approach reduces solvent consumption while ensuring thorough residue removal for reliable testing, even with challenging samples.
Three-solvent capability
Provides operators with greater flexibility to select the most effective cleaning recipe for each application. This versatility improves cleaning effectiveness and supports reliable testing on all sample types.
Heated waste lines
Prevents clogging by keeping waste flowing freely, even with high-viscosity or solidifying materials. This ensures uninterrupted operation and expands the range of samples that can be run without intervention.
