NLG Analytical Ltd launch auto_flow for v:kit

NLG Analytical Ltd are proud to introduce auto_flow for v:kit.

Flow rate readings from the v:kit liquid flowmeter can now be captured automatically using the auto_flow feature in v:kit2 for HPLC.

Automatic flow rate capture is an exciting new development for v:kit with the following benefits:

Traceability: unbroken link between the measured and captured values

Quality: elimination of transcription errors

Efficiency: time taken transcribing flow rate values put to better use

When installed the auto_flow starter kit allows an unlimited number of flow tests to be performed using a specified flow meter up until the expiry date of the kit - which is typically the re-calibration date of the flowmeter. When the flowmeter is re-calibrated an auto_flow refill kit can be purchased.

NLG Analytical Business Development Manager, Stephen Luke, says "Automatic capture of flow rates as part of an HPLC OQ or PQ is a feature that I have wanted to see implemented for a long time and I’m very pleased that we have been able to add it so quickly to v:kit2 for HPLC."
