Sample Compartment:Stores a large number of sample containers, like vials or microplates.
Vials and Microplates:Containers that hold the samples. A single autosampler can often handle multiple plates or various sizes of vials.
Sample Tempering:Optional temperature control for sensitive samples, keeping them between 440∘C.
System Integrity and Performance:
Injection Valves:Direct the flow of the mobile phase and sample, with critical parts including rotor seals and stator faces that need to be replaced periodically.
Fittings and Capillaries:Ensure tight, leak-free connections throughout the system, from the autosampler to the detector.
Filters:Prevent column clogging and damage by removing particles from the sample.
Other related supplies:
Fraction Collectors:Used to collect specific peaks from the sample stream for applications like preparative HPLC.
