    Abstract: An autosampler includes a sample carrier for receiving first and second sets of sample containers each having a top end, a side wall, and a visible indicium on its side wall. The autosampler includes: an optical sensor to read the visible indicia and to generate a corresponding output signal; a controller to receive the output signal; and a sampling system to withdraw a sample. The sample carrier supports the first and second sets of sample containers at different heights such that the indicia of the sample containers of the second set are located above the top ends of the sample containers of the first set, whereby the indicia of the sample containers of the second set are exposed to the optical sensor over the top ends of the sample containers of the first set, thereby enabling the optical sensor to read the indicia of the second set of sample containers.

    Abstract: A liquid handling system for use with a liquid sample in a container includes a probe and an actuator. The probe is configured to be inserted into the container to contact the liquid sample in the container. The probe has a probe axis. The probe includes an elongate probe body having a distal end, and an integral mixing device on the probe body proximate the distal end. The actuator is operable to reciprocate the probe in the container along the probe axis such that the mixing device generates mixing currents in the liquid sample.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are directed to reflectron assemblies and methods of producing them. In some configurations, a reflectron comprising a plurality of lenses each comprising a planar body and comprising a plurality of separate and individual conductors spanning a central aperture from a first side to a second side of a first surface of the planar body is described. In some instances, the plurality of conductors are each substantially parallel to each other and are positioned in the same plane.
