2 Preparing for
Installing the autosampler requires preparation. Before you install the
autosampler, you should evaluate the physical arrangement of the laboratory
to choose a suitable location. Once you choose a location, you must carefully
unpack the autosampler prior to beginning the installation.
This chapter discusses what requirements must be met when you choose a
location. It also describes how to unpack the equipment before installation.
Choosing a Location
Choosing a location for the autosampler involves evaluating the lab
environment for the availability of space, liquid waste routing and power. For
the system to function optimally, the location you select must meet specific
requirements associated with each of these items. The following sections
discuss space, water, and power requirements.
