36 . OilExpress 4 System User's Guide
Two 96-position racks can be installed on the OilExpress 4 System, while up to four can be
installed on the OilExpress 4 XL System. The racks are located on the autosampler deck
using an adaptor plate, which fits directly into the deck (Figure 10).

Each adaptor plate can accommodate up to two 96-position racks. The sample racks can fit
into the adaptor plate in one way only, as the rack feet are keyed to the sample rack locators
on the adaptor plate.
The adaptor plate consists of two parts that are connected together by two fastening screws
that also function as locating pins on the autosampler deck. The correct configuration
depends on the type of OilExpress 4 System and the location on the deck. Refer to Figure 11
and Table 5.

your PerkinElmer Service Representative.
