ABSTRACT:
An automatic sampling apparatus for individually obtaining samples from a plurality of receptacles in a rectangular array, includes a sample table for supporting a rack containing the array of receptacles, and a sampling device movable in two dimensions above said sample table and receptacles. Further, a control device is provided for receiving positional data from the sampling device in a teaching mode representing the two-dimensional position of the sampling device above the sample table, and for calculating the pitch spacing between receptacles in a single row, and row spacing between adjacent rows of receptacles, wherein the pitch spacing is calculated by arithmetic division of the length of one row by the number of receptacles in a row minus one, and the row spacing is calculated by arithmetic division of the distance between farthest rows by the number of rows minus one. Additionally, the control device is provided for controlling the sample device to individually obtain samples in a stepping manner from the receptacles based on the calculated pitch and row spacings. An operation panel, operatively coupled with the control device, has input keys to position the sampling device for the teaching mode by an operator.
