ENSORS
Three optomechanical sample holder sensors are located at the back of the
thermal platform. The sensors detect the type of sample holder being used
and relay the information to the software.
Syringe Pumps
The instrument utilizes two syringe pumps:
• Buffer syringe pump (right)
• Sample syringe pump (left)
Each pump contains a set of six 500 μl glass syringes. The buffer syringe
pump mediates the flow of buffer from the buffer bottles into the multichannel
module. The sample syringe pump mediates the flow of samples from the
autosampler into the multichannel module. The sample syringe pump is also
used to flush the sample tubing during wash procedures.
Warning! You must use the needle holder
corresponding to the type of sample holder you
are using. Failure to use the correct needle
holder will result in damage to needles and
possibly to other components.
