Puck Set and Tools

Both ALS-Style Pucks and Uni-Pucks can be used in the NE-CAT Robot Automounter. ALS-Style Pucks are preferred. Uni-Pucks are allowed but result in higher sample loss. The increased magnetic surface inherent in Uni-Pucks results in an increased inability to properly separate sample from the magnetic base. This causes puck movement and failure of samples to be returned to the puck.
