Notes:
An automatic sample loading system is designed for use with the LKB model 9000 mass spectrometer. The apparatus permits solid samples previously placed in glass vials to be automatically entered one by one into the jet separator of the mass spectrometer for analysis. An 8085 based microcomputer controls the movement of the sample into the vacuum, positions the sample in a heating zone for vaporization, initiates a number of mass scan measurements, dumps the sample when complete, and prompts the data system for the next sample. The apparatus can analyze up to 50 samples with no operator intervention.
