AutomaticQC Cartridge Interface

Removal of the ampule breaker and an access panel provides access to
the latch assembly where the AutomaticQC cartridge connects to the
system. A sliding metal latch plate in the latch assembly engages four
standoffs on the AutomaticQC cartridge to secure the cartridge to the
system.
A valve actuator that extends through the latch assembly moves the sliding
valve on the AutomaticQC cartridge. Driven by a lead screw follower on the
motor, the actuator moves until it engages a vertical slot in the sliding valve.
The bidirectional stepper motor and position detectors move the valve
along the probe to select the required fluid path for flow of QC material from
the AutomaticQC cartridge to the measurement cartridge. The stepper
motor has five stop positions.
With the AutomaticQC cartridge engaged to the system, the cartridge
connector located on the front of AutomaticQC cartridge connects the
AutomaticQC cartridge to the measurement cartridge. Fluidic connectivity
between the two cartridges is provided by a single 0.5mm I.D. tube that
passes from the base of the sliding valve in the AutomaticQC cartridge
through the cartridge connector and into the measurement cartridge. The
cartridge connector must be closed for the system to operate.
