The unique design eliminates sample contact with peristaltic pump tubing, minimizing cross contamination. The peristaltic pump operates at a single, constant speed, further enhancing system stability. The SC-FAST rinses the probe sample lines while the sample is being analyzed, making the SC-DX FAST a true multi-tasking sample automated system.Table 1.

The total time per sample has been reduced from 135 seconds to 45 seconds, with absolutely no compromise in data quality. The SC-FAST analyzes 3 samples in the time it takes a conventional system to analyze one.
