Beaker
detection On a SAC850 or SAC950, a Beaker detection module (ultrasonic
transducer) makes it possible to detect beakers containing liquid
sample with a height higher than the minimum detection limit
(10 mm),
see "Beaker detection minimum height", page 66 .
In all other cases, the beaker positions are not detected, that is to say:
a. empty positions (positions not occupied by beakers),
b. empty beakers or beakers considered as empty (i.e. beakers
with heights of liquid less than the minimum detection limit),
c. beakers containing solid or powder samples.
In case of a position not detected, you can ask the workstation to
jump the position (analysis not performed on that position): tick both
options Beaker detection and Skip empty posi-
tion.
Refer to "Skip empty position", page 208
Case of a SAC950 sample changer with the Beaker cover module
already installed
On a SAC950 with the Beaker cover module installed, the Beaker
detection module is also able to detect all beakers covered by appro-
priate metal lids (the sample changer User’s Guide, chapter 7 "Acces-
sories" gives a list of the metal lids part numbers). By this way, you
can detect beakers with heights of liquid less than the minimum
detection limit) or beakers containing solid or powder samples.
You have just to tick the option Beaker detection.
The option Beaker detection
If you tick the option Beaker detection, then you can ask the
workstation to jump or not the positions which will be not detected
(depending on your selection for the option Skip empty posi-
tion).
If you clear the Beaker detection option, the ultrasonic trans-
ducer is disabled. All the positions between the first and the last
beaker of the sample stack (including the static rinse and park
beakers) will be regarded as occupied by a beaker.
Thus, place beakers on all these positions. In this case, the Skip
empty position option is not available (option is greyed).
