<strong>ASXpress</strong> Rapid Sample Introduction System Operator’s <strong>Manual</strong><br />
Chapter 3: Installing the Rapid Sample Introduction System<br />
3.1 Prepare the <strong>CETAC</strong> Autosampler<br />
A <strong>CETAC</strong> ASX-520, ASX-520HS, or ASX-260 autosampler may be used with the<br />
ASXPRESS system. If the autosampler and ASXPRESS Rapid Sample Introduction<br />
System was purchased as a system, the autosampler will already be prepared<br />
to recognize and operate the ASXPRESS system. However, if the autosampler<br />
was purchased without the ASXPRESS system, it will require preparation.<br />
Note:<br />
The ASXPRESS is compatible with the EXR-8 autosampler. Since the<br />
EXR-8 utilizes the ASX-520 or ASX-520HS head, this manual will refer<br />
to the ASX-520 or ASX-520HS rather than the EXR-8.<br />
Note:<br />
Full ASXPRESS systems (which include autosampler and sample<br />
introduction system) do not require autosampler preparation. However,<br />
the Xpress Configuration Tool Software does require installation onto<br />
the host computer for both ASXPRESS full systems and ASXPRESS<br />
upgrade systems. See Section 3.1.2 for detailed information.<br />
To work properly with the ASXPRESS system, the <strong>CETAC</strong> autosampler will<br />
require:<br />
‣ A 37-pin female Auxiliary I/O connector card<br />
‣ ASXPRESS compatible firmware [pre-loaded onto a<br />
furnished processor (Rabbit) module]<br />
‣ Peristaltic pump speed adjustment increase<br />
‣ Dual-channel peristaltic pump plumbed for ASXPRESSspecific<br />
operation<br />
‣ Standard-bowl rinse station<br />
‣ 1.0mm ID sample probe<br />
