in the sample bottle rack. Combinations of glass and plastic
bottles may be used if desired. Note: All 8 bottles should be
installed in the rack to ensure that they are properly held in
place.
The order in which the bottles are filled is indicated on the plate
located on the bottom of the rack. Since the bottle rack is used for
both 24 and 8 bottle configurations, the plate is numbered 1
through 24 and 1 through 8.
The bottle rack is removed by slightly lifting the front edge of the
rack to disengage it from the two ramps, indicated in Figure 2-7,
and pulling it straight out of the refrigerator. Be careful not to
catch the distributor arm. To remove the glass or plastic sample
bottles, simply lift the bottles straight out of the rack. Place the
new bottles in the rack as shown in Figures 2-11 and 2-12. Make
sure all bottles are fitted properly in the rack.
Cross contamination caused by splashing between bottles is
eliminated by the use of a liquid deflector. The liquid deflector is
coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) Teflon. It is installed
by pushing the short width part of the deflector up between the
flat surface of the distributor arm and the pump tubing. See
Figure 2-8.
