The standard sample basket has 4 metal dividers and springs installed to allow
cassettes to be organized and to prevent cassettes from opening during a run. The
image below shows a number of cassettes loaded using the springs. If you prefer
not to use the dividers or springs, they can easily be removed.
It is always a good idea to
evenly space the
cassettes in the basket to
allow for maximal fluid
flow around the cassettes
for better penetration of
reagents and infiltration of
wax.
This can easily be
achieved using the spring
dividers.
For maximal capacity, the
cassettes can be stacked
together and held in place
with the spring, if desired.
This is shown on the top
left side of the basket.
Place the lid securely on the basket, load the basket into the carrier and position the
carrier into the retort.
