13.2.3 Loading the Wells
This section describes the procedure for loading a sample into the well of the HSS.
1 Open the top yellow cover of the HSS to expose the sample needle assembly
and metal heater block with four sample wells.
WARNING
Be careful to avoid injury when handling hot sample
vials.
WARNING
Be careful to avoid injury when loading/unloading
samples, as the HSS metal sampling needle tip is sharp.
WARNING
Be careful to avoid injury from any broken glass.
WARNING
Do not insert a vial which is completely full of liquid
sample. An adequate airspace above the sample is
required to allow for sample expansion during heating.
Failure to leave an airspace in the vial may result in
failure of the vial and personal injury. Do not fill the vial
with more then 20 mL of liquid.
CAUTION
Do not open the HSS door in a contaminated or wet area.
2 Pull up on the needle assembly while grasping each side between the thumb
and forefingers. Swivel the needle assembly left or right as needed to expose
a free path to the sample well.
3 Insert the vial, plastic cap facing up, into the desired well.
