Specimen Tube Detector
Sample Transport Mechanism
The Sample Transport Mechanism refers to the mechanisms associated
with delivering test tubes of specimen to the Specimen Presentation
Assembly. The STM is composed of the Sampler and the Specimen
Tube Detector.
Sampler # 700-3006
The Sampler is located on the front of the
iQ
®
200 and is similar to the
sampler used on the AX-4280. A bridge connection can be installed
between the two systems allowing automatic transfer of sample racks
after they have been processed on the AX-4280.
Sample racks, each capable of holding 10 tubes, are loaded on the right
side of the sampler. To start the transport of the racks to the pipetting
station, the operator presses the “Start” button. The Sampler presents
sample tubes loaded onto racks at the pipetting station. The Sampler
also has electro-optical sensing of various internal (relating to motor and
actuator positions) and external (relating to rack position) status. The SM
was specifically designed to use the Arkray Sampler.
