Vial Mishandled by ALS (7693A)
Refer to your sampler operating documentation for additional
information.
When you find a mishandled sample vial, do the following:
• Check for folds or wrinkles in the crimp cap, especially near
the neck of the sample vial.
• Use Agilent-recommended sample vials.
The figure below shows the critical dimensions for sample
vials and microvial inserts to be used with the 7693A ALS
system. These dimensions do not make up a complete set of
specifications.
• Verify the transfer turret is installed if using a G4514A tray.
• Check sample labels (if applicable).
• Check that they are the correct size.
• Verify that the labels do not interfere with the gripper.
Vials are available with a write-on spot for easy marking. If
you choose to make and apply your own labels, Agilent
Technologies recommends the positioning and maximum
label thickness shown in the figure below.
