TumblIR Sampling Accessory
The dedicated TumblIR sampling accessory is a proprietary liquid
transmission sampling accessory designed and manufactured
exclusively by Agilent to optimize the analysis of many liquid, paste
and gel samples. Compared to traditional liquid cells for general
analytical laboratories, the TumblIR makes it much easier to prepare,
load, analyze and clean the sample.
The TumblIR operates in two modes: sample loading/cleaning, and
sample analysis.
In the sample loading and cleaning mode, the TumblIR is rotated so
the sampling window is facing up. In this position, the sample
mounting area can be easily accessed for loading the sample into place
and for cleaning the sampling surfaces before the next sample is
analyzed.
