The purging vessel is installed at the automatic sampler. A hose pump at the automatic sampler
delivers the wash liquid from the diluent bottle into the wash cup – this action cleans the dipped
cannula by washing it inside and out. Excess wash liquid flows into the waste container during
purging. The wash liquid between the measuring breaks or for purging steps within a measuring
routine is also taken from the wash cup.
A mains connection supplies operating voltage to the automatic sampler.
