Load your sample into the
PDQeX extractor cartridge.
This part of the procedure will
differ depending on the sample
type. In some cases, it will be in
a suspension; in others it may be
a solid sample or a disk of
storage card.
Insert the cap into the cartridge.
Load the cartridges into the holes
of the heating block. When all
are loaded, lower the hinged flap
onto the caps of the cartridges
and close the sliding door.
