15 Glossary
Analytical Instrument: The instrument, typically an ICP or ICP-MS, to which
the ASX
PRESS PLUS Rapid Sample Introduction System is connected.
ETFE: Ethylenetetraflouroethylene (Tefzel
®
).
FEP: Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene.
Host Computer: The computer that controls operation of the ICP / ICP-MS
instrument to which the CETAC autosampler is attached, and through which
the ASXPRESS PLUS is controlled.
Hz: Hertz
I/O Auxiliary Port: The connector used for establishing communication and
power between the ASX
PRESS PLUS system and the autosampler.
ICP/ICP-MS: Inductively Coupled Plasma/Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass
Spectrometer.
ICP Software: The measurement automation software on the host computer
which controls the measurement system. In addition to controlling the
spectrometer, this software sends commands to the autosampler so that
samples are introduced at the right time. “ICP” in this context can refer to both
Instrument Control Program and Inductively Coupled Plasma spectroscopy.
Examples of ICP software include iTEVA™, WinLab32™, ICP-MS Expert™, and
ChemStation™.
ID: Inside Diameter.
LED: Light-Emitting Diode.
Macro: The software in the electronics module which intercepts and acts upon
autosampler commands.
Peristaltic Pump: An on-board pump controlling the movement of the rinse
solution to the rinse station o the autosampler.
PPS: Polyphenylene sulphide.
PTFE: Polytetraflouroethylene.
Rinse Solution: The solution used to clean the sample probe.
