12.2.2.1 Vial features and dimensions
The autosampler can use clear or amber glass sample vials with snap, crimp or screw cap. Amber
glass vials can be used for light-sensitive samples. Snap cap are recommended because they
can't be over-screwed (as per screw cap) or incorrectly crimped.
The following figure shows the dimensions of the vials that can be used with the autosampler.
These dimensions do not make up a complete set of specifications.
