Working with the Multi Sampler — (October 2017)
Moving parts of the Multi Sampler may cause hand injuries. The Multi Sampler needle
may cause injuries during operation. Never use the Cedex HiRes Analyzer without the
protective cover in place for the Multi Sampler.
The Multi Sampler DefaultCup
The position of the Cedex Sample Cup used for the Prime, LM Shutdown, calibration, and
cleaning routines is called the DefaultCup. An empty Cedex Sample Cup must be placed
in the position set for the DefaultCup at all times. It will be used for LM Shutdown, focus
adjustment, Prime, and all cleaning routines. This Cedex Sample Cup does not differ from the
usual sample cups. The default position for the DefaultCup is position 1 of the Multi Sample
Tray.
Using the Multi Sample Tray
To insert the tray, gently push the tray into the notch until the automatic tray rope starts
pulling it in. To eject the tray, gently push on the tray. The tray will be automatically ejected.
The tray can only be ejected when the system is idle. It cannot be ejected if the system is
moving or the needle is down in a cup.
Perform a Measurement with the Multi Sampler
1
Click on the MULTI RUN button on the Cedex Control Center to open the Multi Run
dialog box.
2
Fill 300 µL +/- 10% of the samples to be measured into individual Cedex Sample Cups
(maximum 20) and place them in the Multi Sample Tray according to the desired sequence.
Insert the tray into the Multi Sampler.
3
Click anywhere in the row of the Multi Run preparation area that
corresponds to the
location of a cup containing a sample. The row will be converted to edit mode, and the
sample and process parameters for the measurement can be defined.
4
Enter the sample data and parameter information as described in the section
“Perform a single measurement ” in the Quick Guide “Performing a Measurement ”.
5
Repeat Steps 3 to 4 for the remaining samples to be measured.
6
Activate the status of each sample row by double-clicking in the Status field of the row to
be activated. The row appears pale blue, and further modifications of sample information is
impossible. Return to the Edit status by double-clicking on the Status area of the sample
row to allow for further changes, if desired.
7
Alternatively, activate or deactivate all samples simultaneously by double-clicking on the word
Status in the column heading at the top of the Multi Run preparation area. Confirm the
safety query with YES to accept the modification.
