Preparing sample vials
Selecting sample vials
The sampler and injector turrets use clear or amber glass sample vials with
crimp-caps or screw-caps. Use amber glass vials for light-sensitive samples.
Refer to your Agilent catalog for consumables and supplies for acceptable vial
types. Incompatible sample vials cause turret errors.
Figure 36 shows the critical dimensions for sample vials and microvial inserts
to be used with the sampler and injector. These dimensions do not make up a
complete set of specifications.
