1-Blade Thick CTS (Closed Tube Sampling) Cap Piercer Assembly (optional)
This optional 1-Blade Thick CTS Cap Piercer assembly pierces thick-stoppered tubes
allowing the sample probe access to the sample without the need for cap removal.
Tubes with caps must be loaded in racks that have had the size correctly defined and
that are not Reserved (Reserved Racks = No CTS). Both open and closed tubes can be
in the same sample tube rack.
Refer to "Symbols and Labels" in CHAPTER 1, General Information, for a description
of the CAUTION labels for the Cap Piercer.
CAUTION
This Cap Piercer contains a razor sharp blade assembly.
CAUTION
Do NOT use this Cap Piercer assembly with foil-capped tubes. This would
give level sense errors.
