Be careful to avoid injury when handling hot samples
vials.
Be careful to avoid injury when loading/unloading
samples, as the metal sampling needle tip is sharp.
Be careful to avoid injury from any broken glass.
Do not insert a vial which is completely full of liquid
sample. An adequate airspace above the sample is
required to allow for sample expansion during heating.
Failure to leave an airspace in the vial may result in
failure of the vial and/or personal injury. Do not fill the vial
with more then 20mL of liquid.
2 Pull up on the needle assembly while grasping each side between the thumb
and forefingers. Swivel the needle assembly left or right as needed to expose
a free path to the sample well.
3 Insert the vial, plastic cap facing up, into the desired well.
4 Lower the needle, either into an empty well or an empty vial. See Figure 13-8.
NOTE: DO NOT puncture the sample septum until the sample has had
adequate time to equilibrate.
