Refer to your sampler operating documentation
information.
When you find a mishandled sample vial, do the following:
• Check for folds or wrinkles in the crimp cap, especially near
the neck of the sample vial.
• Use Agilent-recommended sample vials.
• The distance from the vial bottom to the top of the neck
should be approximately 28.4 mm.
• The bottle neck diameter should be 8.2 ± 0.2 mm. The
sampler injector and the tray use clear or amber glass
sample vials with crimp caps, or Target® DP™ screw-cap
vials. Use amber glass vials for light-sensitive samples.
Refer to your Agilent catalog for consumables and
supplies for acceptable vial types. Incompatible sample
vials cause tray and turret errors.
The figure below shows the critical dimensions for sample
vials and microvial inserts to be used with the sampler.
