10. Quest Sampling Accessories
10.1. The Volatiles Cover
Included with the Quest ATR Accessory is a volatiles cover (21),
compatible with the Standard and Liquid Pucks. A larger volatiles cover
is supplied with the heated puck. This can be used for sampling and
containing liquid samples, particularly when they are volatile. The
volatiles cover is a flat circular plate with an O-ring on the underside for
sealing and a location groove on the top (See Figure 10-1). To use,
place your sample onto the ATR crystal, place the volatiles cover over
the sample and then clamped into position using the Flat Anvil (see page
20) as shown in Figure 10-2.
