SANPRA™ - Flexible Like You Want It to Be
The concept of SANPRA™ means flexibility, scalability for our user. One should be able to upgrade and upscale the mercury analysis capacity at any time without purchasing entirely new instruments. Latest RA-7000A is ready to upgrade with any size of SANPRA™ autosampler at any time.
3 Types of SANPRA™ Available:
SANPRA™ 3
- 80 positions of autosampler
- Automate dispensing of SnCl2, H2SO4 and hydroxylamine hydrochloride
- Suitable for all kind of aqueous sample after manual wet chemical sample decomposition
SANPRA™ 5
- 80 positions of autosampler
- Equip with fully automated acid digestion functions, comply with regulatory methods such as EPA, APHA and more.
SANPRA™ 7
- 29-Positions Solid Matrix Acid-Digestion Autosampler
- Automate the pre-treatment for solid sample matrices such as soil and other solid specimens.
World’s First Autosampler Equipped with
Auto-digestion function
Incorporating NIC’s cutting-edge innovation and engineering, RA-7000A series continues its success from RA-4500 predecessor to automate the entire sample digestion and analysis process with compliance with regulatory methods such as EPA and APHA.
It comes with programmable software where users can program up to 10 steps of sample digestion steps with proportionally reduced reagents usage and faster measurement time compared.
Finally, the automation results in minimized human handling error and improved mercury measurement performance.
Automate the reagent dispensing precisely that includes
Sulfuric acid, Nitric acid, Potassium permanganate, Peroxide potassium disulfate, Hydroxylamine hydrochloride, Tin (II) chloride.
Durable acid-resistant Aluminum block
to prevent system corrosion from acidic fumes and corrosive reagents.
LED Verification of Excess KMnO4
Excess of KMnO4 is required in regulatory method.
Reliable Infrared Heating Technology
to provide, rapid, uniform heating with precise temperature control and effective cooling process.
We believe innovation must be ergonomic and practical too:
Convenient Side Door Handle
to ensure all users can close and open SANPRA™ cover safely.
Intelligent Sample Tube Existence Sensing
To prevent reagents from dispensing without a sample tube, creating a safe system for users to operate.
Built-in Chamber Lighting
to allow checking of sample status at a glance
*Optional in SANPRA™ 3;
Available in SANPRA™ 5 & 7*
Wide Opening Frontage
To ensure no obstruction during sample loading/unloading.

Discrete-Direct Purge Technique Overcomes Mercury Memory Effect
In this DDP technique, RA-7000A handles each sample in a Discrete, independent sample tube. Each sample is therefore isolated from surface contact with any other samples in the analytical batch to be measured.
The Direct-Purge technique is then used to extract and transfer the converted Hg0 from each sample tube and into the detector for measurement. Since only mercury vapor contacts the flow path, sample-to-sample memory effects and carryover from over-range samples are virtually eliminated.
Versatile High Sample Throughput Configurations of RA-7000A with SANPRA™
Start with the basic –
Flexible as you want it to be
Start using RA-7000A with a basic reducing vaporization/Impinger Unit, RH Gas Module or a SANPRA of your choice. Scale up or upgrade only when you need to.
Use RA-7 with 1 unit of SANPRATM and upscale it when necessary
Productivity of up to 240 samples per batch
Choose up to 3 SANPRA at the same time.
Mixed combination of SANPRA™ can be configured too.
Increased Functionality/Scope of Sample Matrices
In a single platform, RA-7000A can analyze solid matrices (chemically digested), aqueous solution, and gaseous sample, offering an intelligent smart combo that provides ultimate flexibility, growing with your laboratory’s needs.
