Description and FunctionThe 1096+ XYZ Autosampler is fully compatible for operation with an Aurora 1030 TOC analyzer. The 1096 autosampler aspirates liquid samples from vials and transfers each sample aliquot to an Aurora 1030 TOC analyzer for analysis. The autosampler holds four 24-vial trays and a 12-vial standards tray for fully automated, unattended operation.

The 1096 supports a number of special functions to address a range of sample conditions and analysis requirements. System configuration for sample pretreatment allows pre-acidification and purging of samples on the 1096 prior to sampling. This technique removes the TIC content of samples, reducing the analysis time required for TOC measurements. Septum piercing allows closed vial sampling for applications where open vials may compromise the accuracy of measurements.

Operating PrincipleThe sampling sequence of the 1096 autosampler is user-programmed through the Aurora 1030 touchscreen display. The autosampler arm moves the sampling needle to the X-Y position above a sample vial. The Z-mechanism lowers the sampling needle into the vial and aspirates the specified sample volume and transfers it to the reaction chamber of Aurora 1030. Following the sample transfer step, the sampling needle returns to a wash station to be rinsed. A user-programmable number of rinses are performed to clean the needle before the next vial is sampled.
