Overview of the OilExpress 4 System . 39
Clean tips are purchased preloaded into a removable rack that clips into place in the tip box
(Figure 15).
Figure 15 Disposable tip box (L1610022/L1610023)
The base of each tip box has a cut-out (or locating window) that often displays a deck
position (for example, A9) when the rack is installed on the deck. These deck positions are
described in the OilExpress 4 on-screen Help.
Source Tip Box Adaptor Plate (OilExpress 4 with 96-position rack only)
If you have an OilExpress 4 (standard) system and are using the 96-position sample rack,
then an adaptor plate is required to position the clean tips correctly on the autosampler deck
(Figure 16). Racks of clean tips clip into the source boxes in the usual way. No adaptor plate
is required for the OilExpress 4 XL systems.

NOTE: The central opening in the adaptor plate is for the injection station, which is located
in deck positions D8 and D9.
