Sample Probe Assembly
The stainless steel sample probe fits inside a holder. A probe fitting screws into the top of
the holder, keeping the probe in place. From the probe, through the fitting, extends a tube
that passes through a strain relief and attaches to the sample valve. The sample loop from
the syringe pump also enters the sample value, and a tube extends from it into the optical
chamber, carrying the sample mixed with Drive Fluid.
A wheel pulley, covered by a protective shield, moves the probe assembly along the x
axis.
