The invention relates to a method of sample delivery for a sample analyser, which has a delivery device for samples which can be loaded with exchangeable liners, which are tubular at least at the inlet end and hold the sample, the liners, on which there is respectively fitted at the gas inlet end a transporting head which holds the liner by means of a seal hereby having a friction fit, being arranged such that they are inserted at predetermined locations in a magazine and/or in sample containers, a changing device, which is equipped with a gripper for the transporting heads of the liners, being used and on the basis of a predetermined program, the changing device gripping the respective liner at a predetermined place on its transporting head and inserting it into the delivery device in a sealing manner, the sample delivery being performed and, subsequently, the liner being removed from the delivery device by the changing device, by gripping its transporting head, and also to a liner handling system for this.
A method of sample delivery for a sample analyser, which has a delivery device for samples which can be loaded with exchangeable liners, which are tubular at least at the inlet end and hold the sample,
A liner handling system with a sample analyser, which has a delivery device for samples which can be loaded with exchangeable liners, which are tubular at least at the inlet end and hold the sample, a magazine for holding liners and a changing device for changing and transporting liners between the delivery device, the magazine and, if appropriate, sample containers on the basis of a predetermined program,
A transporting head for a tubular liner which is tubular at least at the inlet end, with an insertion opening, provided with a sealing ring, for holding the liner with a friction fit and with sealing rings located on the outer circumference.
A delivery device for samples for a sample analyser, comprising a holding cup with a bottom through-opening for a liner, which is provided with a transporting head which can be held by the holding cup, is tubular at least at the inlet end and is held by the transporting head with a friction fit, and comprising a clamping device for clamping the transporting head into the holding cup.
A sample container with a flange, which is arranged at the inlet end and on which two septa provided with a through-opening and with a pierceable foil arranged between them are fastened by a cap, it being possible to insert into the through-openings, in a manner sealed from the outside, a guiding tube with a holding cup for a transporting head which holds a liner that is tubular at least at the inlet end by means of a seal hereby having a friction fit.
