Synchron Lab Automation has launched its state of the art Synchron Gravidosing formulating system for optimising and improving the  accuracy of high and low viscous ink,coatings and other sample formulations.

Consisting of the Gravidos software, Synchron x-y-z Robot and a precision scale, the robotic system gives users the choice of using volumetric and/or gravimetric dosing for the formulation of samples. This is particularly beneficial when formulating highly viscous samples where volumetric dosing may not be accurate enough.

The Gravidose robot incorporates a simple and flexible setup to ease the design and execution of small, medium or large numbered experiments. Thanks to the open platform, the system can work with many external modules such as heating blocks, mixing and stirring stations and bar code readers to name a few. The powerful gripping arm transfers sample containers from any module to the scale and back.

Each pipetting tip holder has an individual level sensor that can accommodate washable or disposable tips. The user has also complete control of each tip movement. The Gravidose robot can carry out numerous heating and stirring techniques and it can dose according to an unlimited number of weight and liquid classes (parameters) for optimal
sampling.
