1Overview

Description

The Agilent 1200 Series Sample Capacity Extension is a flexible and

upgradeable robotic well-plate loading system. The basic unit, comprising a

Well-plate Handler and an Automation Interface, is capable of sequentially

loading up to twenty 96-well or 384-well plates into the high performance

autosampler.

The Agilent 1200 Series Sample Capacity Extension works in conjunction with

the high performance autosampler and either fully automatically with the

Agilent ChemStation or interactively with the Agilent 1200 Series control

module. The Well-plate Handler moves sample well-plates from an input rack

to the Automation Interface, which moves the well-plate into position in the

high performance autosampler. When the sequence is complete, the

Automation Interface collects the well-plate from the high performance

autosampler, and the Well-plate Handler retrieves the plate and places it into

an output rack. This process is repeated for up to 20 well-plates (expandable

to 80) in a single run.

To prevent sample contamination, well-plates with lids can be used, or closing

mats can be used to prevent evaporation. The Well-plate Handler removes the

lid prior to processing the plate, then replaces the lid after processing.

Alternatively, a lid or an additional empty well-plate can be used as a “topper”

on the stack to prevent contamination or evaporation of the top well-plate. The

Well-plate Handler removes the topper prior to processing the stack, then

replaces the topper on the stack.
