Installing sample trays
A sample tray can be inserted into one of three locations in front of the
spectrometer – on the left-hand side, in front of the atomizer compartment, and on
the right-hand side. You can leave a tray permanently installed on the left-hand
side if you wish. You cannot install a tray in front of the atomizer compartment
or on the right-hand side as long as the furnace autosampler is installed. When the
autosampler is swivelled to the standby position at the right, you can install a tray
in front of the atomizer compartment.
The sample trays are robust and can support an accessory, such as a diluter, or a
flame autosampler, or a flow injection system.
To install the tray
1. Hold the tray with both hands and position it in front of the location into which
you wish to insert it.
2. Insert the tray support posts into the guides at the base of the instrument and
slide in the tray until it hits the stop. Then gently lift the front of the tray and
slide it finally into place. You can feel it lock into place.
To remove the tray
1. Gently lift the tray at the front and then pull it back to slide it out of the guides.
