Carbon Fiber Probes
CETAC Automation has introduced carbon fiber sample probes and improved Z-drive assembly for CETAC cable-driven autosamplers. These new features are designed to enhance the overall performance and accuracy of these autosampler models.
Carbon fiber probes and the improved Z-drive are standard equipment on most ASX-260,
ASX-520, ASX-520HS and EXR-8 autosamplers as of January 2009. An upgrade is available for all listed models manufactured before that time, as well as ASX-500 and ASX-510 models.

To determine whether a particular autosampler is equipped with the improved Z-drive for carbon fiber probes, refer to the photos below.

The manufacture date of your autosampler can be found by referring to the first four digits of the serial number. These four digits refer to the month and year of manufacture in MMYY format.

NOTE: It is recommended that the autosampler unit be visually inspected to determine whether an upgrade is necessary. For additional upgrade information, refer to the overview PDF document linked at the left.
