Filling Sample Vials
In general, fill sample vials about half way. Although sample
amounts can vary depending on the analysis, do not fill vials
more than the amount shown in Figure 8. Filling the vial
correctly ensures that the sampling probe will not contact
with the matrix during sampling. If you need more sample,
use a larger vial or optimize the method to improve results.
See the Advanced Operation Guide for recommendations.
