1 Introduction

1.1 Device description

The 889 IC Sample Center Basic is a robust Autosampler for high sample

throughput, optimized for the challenges of the modern analytics labora-

tory. Its greatest advantages are small sample volumes and the cooling

option (8.889.0040).

Special features:

￭The control per PC software makes operation readily comprehensible.

A context-sensitive online help function is available for every window

and every dialog.

￭As a means of enhancing safety, no needle movements are carried out

when the door is open.

￭The optional sample cooling guarantees consistent results.

Standard microtiter plates (high or low form) or sample racks can be used.

Different plates or racks can be present in the left-hand and right-hand

loading drawers.
