Contolling the Autosampler
NOTE
:
The autosampler will not respond to commands if the autosampler door is opened.
Only sample vials and syringes distributed by PerkinElmer should be used with the
Clarus GCs. Plungers are not interchangeable from syringe to syringe.
The autosampler contains three basic parts: an autosampler tower, a carousel, and a
sample tray (see the following two figures). The autosampler tower can contain either a
0.5-, 5.0-, or 50.0- µ L syringe.

Autosampler Trays and Carousel
The
Clarus 600 GC
can use only the 82-vial standard tray or the 82-vial tall tray. The
Clarus 680 GC is designed to use the large capacity 108-vial tray for standard vials or
the 108-vial tray for tall vials. There is also an 82-vial
Thermostatting
Tray Kit available
for use with the Clarus 600 GC and Clarus 680 GC.
The Standard vials are recommended and supplied by PerkinElmer. The Tall vials refer
to those vials not purchased from PerkinElmer which are slightly taller than the Standard
vials.
