1) Gas Valve

Activates gas drying of the column bed if the valve is plumbed into the unit and the Dry Column step is used in software.

2) Mixing Vessel

Creates a mixed reagent when the Add Reagents to Mixing Vessel and Mix Reagents in Mixing Vessel steps are used in the software.

3) Syringe Drive and Liquid Sensor

Performs all dispense and aspirate functions. Senses if you are out of a reagent when the Liquid Sense is a “yes” in your procedure. You can dispense up to 6mL and load up to 5.8 mL.

4) 12-Port Valve

Directs the liquid flow from the syringe to one of the following ports as specified in your procedure:

-   Reagents 1 through 8 (8 different ports)

-   Vent

-   Cannula

-   Column plunger

-   Mixing Vessel

5) Thumb Wheel Switch

Selects a module address of 0 through 9.

6) Power Light

Appears lit when the power is on.

7) Run Light

Appears lit when the module is running.

8) Error Light

Appears lit when an error occurs.

9) 3 mL or 1 mL Column Plunger

Places reagents or samples on the SPE column bed.

10) Start/Stop Switch

Starts the procedure for a magnetically encoded rack, and stops a procedure while it is running.

11) Cannula

Adds reagent to sample, mixes, and loads sample onto the column bed.

12) SPE Column Turret

Holds the 1 mL and 3 mL syringe barrel cartridges.

14) Standard Rack

-   Holds up to 10 sample tubes 13 x 100 mm and 10 collection tubes 12 x 75 mm.

-   Holds the magnets for magnetically encoded racks.

1) Cutout for 8 Reagent Lines and 1 Gas Line

-   8 reagent lines run from the module to the reagent bottles.

-   Gas line runs from the module to the gas source.

2) Exhaust Fan

Ventilates the electronics of the module.

3) RS232 Connector (Output)

Connects this module to the input of the next module.

4) Power Switch

Turns the module AC power on or off.

5) Power Entry

Connects to the power cord AC power and houses the fuses.

6) RS232 Connector (Input)

Connects module to the controller if it is the first module, or connects module to the output of the previous module.

7) Cutout for 3 Column Waste Lines and 1 Cannula Waste Line

3 column waste lines and 1 cannula waste line run to the waste receptacles situated outside ot the module.
