Loading Samples
The following instructions relate to Genevac systems with swung rotors. Your local Genevac
representative will be happy to provide information about systems with fixed rotors which
have angled holes for holders or individual tubes.
Sample holders
A range of sample holders is available to suite a wide variety of plates, vials, tubes, beakers,
flasks, etc, as well as the revolutionary Genevac SampleGenie™ system. Sample holders
are interchangeable, lifting straight out of the rotor to allow samples to be loaded quickly and
easily. Some sample holders are a one-piece integral holder and swing, others consist of a
sample holder block which fits into a separate swing.

To see the range of sample holders available, contact your local Genevac representative
and request a Genevac Accessories Brochure.
Use of correct accessories
Take care to make sure that the correct sample holders are used, follow this guidance at all
times:
Only use swings and sample holders that are approved for the system (it is particularly
important to check this if more than one Genevac system is in use)
Only use the tubes or vials that are approved for the sample holder (incompatible tubes
may appear to fit a holder they could be too long when loaded onto the rotor)
Use matched pairs of sample holders on opposing positions of the rotor
Do not use sample holders intended for side-bridge swings in open swings (they may
appear to fit but could be too tall when loaded onto the rotor).
If using heat transfer plates, insert each plate into the swing with the flat metal base plate
facing downwards so it contacts the swing.
The Genevac Accessories Brochure indicates the maximum tube length that each holder
can take and includes notes such as: For use in side-bridge swing only.
