7.5 Analysing the Sample
(Cap Piercing Device)
The cap piercing device model 220 is an optional built-in unit that enables the in-
strument to be used with several types of closed tubes. A tube selector is used
with 6 positions giving the operator the ability to use 6 different kinds of tubes.
A motor driven needle is penetrating the closed tube and aspirating the sample
after which the needle and aspiration tube is cleaned and dried.
The closed tube might be of a vacuum or zero pressure type. The adapter handles
even a slight over pressure in the closed tube in a correct way. The minimum vol-
ume in the closed tube should be ca. 1 ml using a standard B&D tube with a
length of ca. 73 mm.
1. Rotate the wheel to a position that fits the dimension of the tubes you are
using. The positions can hold auxiliary adapter devices that can be ordered
from Boule to fit your local needs.
