Auto sampler with specified features CO2 flow system In line safety bottle Flushing system Sample mixing/stirring Heat control Interface with mass spectrometer
Radical change in design, due to refined scope from outside advisor. Needed to add heat control and stirring mechanism After further research into part cost, previous designs greatly exceeded budget New design is simplified, requires slightly more human interaction, but meets the needs of project scope much better
2-Way Solenoid Valve Closed when off PTFE (Teflon) Designed for gases
Re-sealable septa bottle tops (Teflon) Needle puncture Inlet/outlet design Works in conjunction with valving system
10 zones Heat plate, with temperature control kept at 37 degrees Celsius Up to 1100 RPM, will be kept at 200 RPM
Software interface Assembly, due to high tolerance, and sensitive parts Straight line motion of the enclosure top Test needle gauge by puncturing septa top and determining if sticky pad will hold bottles Staying in budget
