Tip Boxes
Two sets of tip boxes are required for use with the OilExpress 4 System (Figure 14). One
contains the clean disposable tips that are used to aspirate samples. The other should be
empty and is used by the autosampler for depositing used tips.
Figure 14 Used tip box (with drip tray) and clean tip box (with disposable tips)
The clean and waste tip boxes are positioned on the autosampler deck to minimize the
chance of contaminating clean tips by drips from used tips. Tip boxes are emptied from the
top-left to the bottom-right.
