Shimadzu brings you the innovative, but affordable "Octopus" TOC autosampler (OCT-1) for use with the TOC-V Series instruments. The easy-to-operate Octopus, an eight-positional autosampler, sells for less than one quarter the price of traditional autosamplers, making it an ideal solution for laboratories with minimal sampling requirements. Shimadzu's new and highly efficient OCT-1 can analyze up to 8 samples automatically, and all 8 vials or containers may vary in size. The number of vials can be increased to 16 with the addition of the optional OCT-2.
If a larger number of samples are required, the traditional type ASI-V autosampler is available for up to 93 samples.
