Injection Valve Options
The AS can be configured either without an injection valve, or with one or two
injection valves installed in the autosampler compartment.
Vials, Well Plates, and Sample Trays
The AS can sample from either vials or well plates. Several types of sample trays
are available to accommodate the various vial and well plate sizes. Insulated trays
are available for use with the sample temperature control option.
During sampling, the tray remains stationary and a sampling needle arm moves
from position to position. Up to 99 injections can be taken from each vial or well.
Control
The AS can be controlled locally, from the front panel keypad and display, or
remotely, with a personal computer running Windows
®
2000 or Windows XP and
Chromeleon
®
Chromatography Data Management System software (Release 6.7
or later), or Chromeleon Xpress (Release 1.0 or later). Limited remote control is
also available, using TTL and relay signals.
For communication between the AS and the software, the AS is connected to a
USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on the computer, USB hub, or other Dionex
module equipped with a USB hub.
