Sample management system overview
July 29, 2013, 715003794 Rev. B 33
Spills and condensation in the sample compartment are routed to a waste
connection below the front panel.
You can load a carousel into the carrier while an injection is underway. An
open-door sensor prevents the carrier from automatically advancing while you
load the carousel (see “Load carousels” on page 111).
Vial presence
A light-emitting diode assembly searches for the presence of a vial before the
needle moves to the Draw position. This searching prevents air from being
accidentally injected into the solvent stream when a programmed vial position
is accidentally left empty. See the Verify vial presence parameter in “Set
configuration parameters” on page 91.
Syringe assembly
The syringe assembly is located behind a front panel door for ease of access
(see the figure “Syringe assembly:” on page 34). The separations module uses
a standard 250-µL syringe; as an option, you can install either a 25-µL or
2500-µL syringe. See “Replace the syringe” on page 205, for the procedure to
change the syringe. Note that the separations module serial number is located
on the syringe mounting plate.
