Sample Cassettes
Cassettes are the plastic racks which hold sample vials and allow them to be
moved on the sample changer deck. Samples are placed into cassettes that
accommodate either standard or small vials without adapters (4ml vials require
cassettes with adapters). The standard vial cassette can accommodate up to 12,
15-20ml vials and the mini-vial cassettes up to 18, 6-7ml mini-vials. A protocol
flag, which you attach to the cassette, identifies the protocol and assay conditions
that you have defined for use with your samples. The individual cassettes are
identified by unique numbers (cassette IDs) located at the end of each cassette.
The protocol flag and cassette ID are automatically read by the instrument to
provide Positive Sample Identification (PID) when using Worklists.
