Project Summary • Auto sampler with specified features • CO2 Intake and Flushing system • In line safety bottle and flushing bottle • 20 Samples per tray • Interface with mass spectrometer
Design Concept • Cartesian Robot with Z actuation
Design Concept • Septa bottle tops • Fixed tray of samples
Design Concept • CO2 Intake and Flushing • Inlet and Outlet Puncture Needle
Design Rationale • Research of what exists • Septa Bottle Tops • Cartesian Robot • Size of Autosampler • Size of bottles limits its motion • Multiple options on Cartesian Robot software • Rotating trays are harder to make interchangeable • Need for constant CO2 flow
Discussion • Sample Cataloging • Software Integrating • Electrical Control System • CO2 System • Enclosure • Bottle Injection System • Flushing System
