The autosampler has a spill tray underneath the rack location mat to
contain any excess liquid that occurs as a result of an accidental spillage,
for example, from a dropped sample rack or maybe an unanticipated
overflow of the wash reservoir.
Place the spill tray flat on the deepest section located between the base
bars. It should be fitted with the front edge oriented as shown in
Figure
It is recommended that any ingress of liquid into the spill tray is cleaned
up immediately after a spill has occurred. To access the spill tray for
cleaning, the sample racks, the standards rack and the fixed wash
reservoir (together with associated tubing) need to be removed from the
rack location mat (refer to
before it can be lifted off the spill tray to access any contained liquid.
If rinse fluid, sample fluid, standard fluid or other liquids spill on the spill tray, wipe

up immediately. These liquids may corrode the instruments. Highly alkaline or acidic
fluids can injure the skin and mucus membranes. Exercise caution when handling
these fluids.
