Prevent Hazardous Spills in the Lab

JM Science’s Sonic Reservoir Sensor System is used in labs to measure levels of solvents and liquid waste used in unattended LC separations in real time. It is especially useful during a weekend or lengthy chromatographic analysis when there is the risk of running out of solvents during unattended operation or a waste container overflowing.

The Sonic Level Sensor System employs a sound wave transmitter positioned in the reservoir’s cap to accurately measure the level of the solvent in the 1liter reservoir or waste container. Sonic signals are converted into an electrical signal that can be shown as a visible indication of liquid level on a display. This sensor system provides safe unattended operation by automatically sending a signal to stop the pump when LC solvents get low or to switch a valve so that the extended analysis continues without interruption. It safeguards the loss of valuable samples and analysis time while preventing the waste container from overflowing and creating a hazardous spill in the lab.

The Sonic Sensor is applicable for most solvents used for LC separations.
