Installing the sample racks
Installing PerkinElmer sample racks
For easy shipment, the sample racks are often folded flat. The procedure for assembling
the racks is described in ’Assembling sample racks on page 13’.
To install the racks:
Caution: Risk of damage to the instrument
If the sample racks installed on the autosampler are not the correct
ones for the sample tray selected in the WinLab software, the
sampling probe may strike against a rack rather than enter a
sample location.
• Always make sure that the correct racks are installed.
Note The procedures described below assumes that you are using a
spectrometer operated via the AA WinLab software. If you are using an ICP or
ICP-MS instrument, please refer to the information on operating an autosampler
in the online help for the respective instrument.
1. Start AA WinLab (or the operating software specific to the
spectrometer).
2. Select the sample racks that make up the sample tray group you
intend to use more information: page 25.
3. In the WinLab software, select the required sample tray group:
1. Open the correct method.
2. Display the Method Editor window.
3. On the Calibration - Autosampler page, select the correct group of
sample racks under Tray Type (E, F, or G).
4. Load the sample racks with the calibration and sample solutions.
Carefully note the location of each solution in the racks see ‘Sample
rack locations for the sample tray groups’, page25.
5. If required, drive the autosampler arm to the load tray position:
1. Display the Automated Analysis window.
2. On the Analyze page, click on Load Tray.
If the autosampler arm is not currently in the load tray position, the arm rises
and is moved to the origin at the rear of the sample table. In this position the
sampling probe does not hinder installation or removal of the sample racks.
