Related Parameter:

No.

Description:

The Sample Variable Pos. determines the position of the sample in the Autosampler.

For externally controlled autosamplers, this value is automatically transmitted to the autosampler for sample processing. The autosampler approaches the corresponding sample for injection. For non-controllable autosamplers, this value is for documentation purposes only. If the sample position parameter is not entered, the previous (current) value is used.

Function:

Depending on the installed segment type, the ASI-100 Autosampler supports 63 position for semiprep vials, 66 positions for Eppendorf vials, 117 positions for analytical vials, or 192 positions for mini vials.

Letters according to their color describe the individual segments: R, G, or B (indicating the red, green, and blue segment, respectively). The different rows are described from the outer to the inner row: A, B, C, or D. The individual positions within the respective rows are number counterclockwise. The position RA1, for example, is in the outer row of the red segment (also, refer to the Operating Instructions for the ASI-100 Series).

Some autosamplers and fraction collectors, e.g., the Dionex SFM (Sample and Fraction Manager) have several trays installed. In this case, you have to enter the Sample tray and Vial to make sure that the position is defined unambiguously.
