Overview – OMNIS Sample Robot Pick&Place L
At both slide positions (7-5) (front and rear), the titration head holder
(7-6) can be moved downwards via the lift tower (7-2) so that the safety
shield (7-3) encases the sample beaker.
A titration head that fits the sample beaker to be used can be utilized in
the titration head holder (7-6). The titration head contains sensors, dosing
tips, cleaning accessories (and occasionally a rod stirrer or homogenizer)
that are required for the measurement.

Distributor

At the rear of the Pick&Place module there is a drain nozzle (8-1) to which
a tubing is connected via a tubing adapter. Any liquid that may escape will
be routed through this tubing into the waste canister. In case of an error,
this protects the Pick&Place module from damage.
The distributor (8-2) that is used for connecting the rinsing tubing and
aspiration tubing is fitted on the back panel of the Pick&Place module.
Option for working with a homogenizer (Polytron PT 1300
D)
A homogenizer (Polytron PT 1300 D) (9-1) can be inserted in the titration
head (9-3) for applications which require homogenization of the sample.
A holder for homogenizers has to be mounted for guiding the homogenizer (9-2). For further information, see Inserting and equipping the
titration head.
