Recovering maximum sample from vials

Topic LCI-USG-0086, Last Updated 11/08/2024

Improper system settings can negatively affect how much sample is drawn from the vial.

The system has an optional vial bottom sensing feature. When it is enabled, the system will probe the bottom of the vial and then back off slightly so that the needle is very close to the bottom.

The default ANSI plate (48 vials) definition for the 2-mL Maximum Recovery Vials can leave some sample in the vial. If you must recover the maximum amount of sample possible, turn on the vial bottom sensing function.
