6 Introduction to the Well-plate Sampler
Reflective light switches detect the presence and type of different trays. The
X-slide carries the antenna and electronics of a RF-sensor. This device has
multiple functions:
• It allows to read and write information from a tag, located in the new tray.
• It allows to increase the number of different trays.
• It allows to read the revision and other data tags of the needle/sample
transport assembly and sampling unit.
Complex flex boards make the electrical connection to the various motors,
sensors and the MTP-board. The needle carrier has an integrated plate/vial
pusher with an additional linear encoder to sense vials and the presence of
plates.
The needle and the loop capillary are user-exchangeable.
The back of the needle/sample transport assembly has a cover to protect the
electronics from potential solvent vapor.
