Design and Function
Sample Brake
5.3.2 Cassette
The removable cassette has a capacity of 60 samples, which can be filled individually, or
can be removed from the base unit and all the conveyor chain links can be filled at once.
To ease the loading/unloading of samples from the sample pool, the cassette can be
placed on a desk or table.
Single Access Mode
In Single Access mode the cassette is connected to the base unit and the cassette cover
is installed. The cassette can then be filled with samples one by one at the operator
access position. This is the standard operation mode when SampleTrack is used as the
control software.
Random Access Mode
In Random Access mode the cassette cover is removed. The samples can be filled in
any available position. This mode is often used in closed laboratories with frequent sam-
ple exchange.

The sample brake slows down the sample on its
way back from the BST tube.
