Laboratory Sample Collector

A very useful tool for collecting a small amount of liquids or paste-like materials that are difficult to pick up using tweezers is the MSC.input:
output:The micro sample collector is a sampling tool that is similar to a syringe. The sample is sampled by touching or rubbing it with the coil located at the tip of the MSC needle.input:
output:The sample can be directly introduced into the GC injector, the coil can be introduced into the pyrolyzer, or the components that are solvent-extracted from the micro coil can be introduced into the HPLC after sampling, depending on the sample collected. It can be employed as a pretreatment method, contingent upon the method of analysis.

The micro coil can be repurposed by cleaning it with a solvent. Sampling can be conducted in the same manner as previously described using tweezers with a sharp tip, even when utilizing a micro coil alone.input:
output:1. Simple sampling of powdered samplesinput:
output:The MSC’s tip is a micro coil (o.d.=0.3 mm, L=5 mm) that can be retracted into the needle. A sub-milligram of sample can be collected by lightly touching or rubbing the material of interest with the coil. The micro coil can be used for sampling alone if desired, using tweezers.input:
output:2. Straightforward analysisinput:
output:The sample collected on the micro coil can be directly injected into GC if it is volatile, or the micro coil can be placed in a sample cup for pyrolysis if it is a polymeric material. Additionally, HPLC may be implemented to evaluate solvent extracts from the micro coil. The MSC is beneficial for other sample preparations that are necessary for your specific analytical purposes.input:
output:3. Disposable and inexpensiveinput:
output:The micro coil is considered disposable; however, it may be repurposed by cleaning it with a solvent, contingent upon the analytical objectives.
