PolyVials
The vial carousel holds up to 50 0.5 mL or 5.0 mL disposable plastic
PolyVials or a combination of the two sizes. Vial adapters (P/N 071901,
package of 50) are required to load 0.5 mL vials into the carousel.
Adapters are included in the Dionex AS-DV Ship Kit for 0.5 mL vials
(P/N AAA-071115). PolyVials serve both rinse and sample functions.
NOTE Thermo Fisher Scientific does not recommend the
use of flammable solvents in the Dionex AS-DV
vials.
Vial Caps
Vial caps perform an important function in sample loading (see
Section 2.2.1 ). They also minimize evaporation, contamination, or spills
of sample while awaiting use. Caps with 20
P
m filters are available. The
filter traps particulates that might contaminate the analytical system.
PolyVials and caps can be used for loading sample to either a sample loop
or a concentrator column. An insertion tool (P/N 037987), included in the
To avoid trapping dust particles in the vial caps, always operate the
Dionex AS-DV with the carousel cover closed.
Before starting a run, always press the
Carousel Release
button to
disengage the carousel and reset the vial information. After loading
the vials in the carousel, press the
Carousel Release
button again to
