Mettler Toledo is changing the way standards and samples are prepared in analytical laboratories by introducing the new Quantos liquid dosing module. Quantos combines Mettler Toledo’s weighing competence with unique powder and liquid dosing technology. Up to now, when preparing a solution, the amount of substance to be dosed was determined by the required concentration and the available volumetric glassware. Quantos instead weighs the amount of substance which can be only a few milligrams and automatically adds solvent to accomplish the correct concentration. Instead of the glassware, the user decides on the amount of substance and may thus realize significant savings. Substance and solvent can directly be dispensed into the target vial instead of a volumetric flask simplifying the solution preparation process. Automation makes the process error resistant reducing out-of-specification results.
