Design and function
The Sample Access Line (SAL) section is installed to the Alinity analyzers and connected to
the GLP systems Track with a T-element. The SAL is controlled in the user interface (UI) on a
monitor.
Samples are pipetted directly from the track by the Alinity analyzers. The pipette unit is part of
the Alinity analyzer. For more information, see the Alinity ci-series Operations Manual.
Each SAL Alinity section has a pipette unit with an AccessPoint and bar code reader, as well as
a track hood. For reliable sample identification, a bar code reader is used at the AccessPoint.
Identification is performed through a 90-degree change in direction by using a metal-free,
dielectric mirror.
This interface manual describes the following combination for example purposes: Alinity c and
Alinity i with three SAL sections.
