<p>Liquid sampling apparatus in a liquid analyzer includes a hollow sample intake tube (10) that has an inlet port adapted to receive sample material to be analyzed, and is mounted on a support (40) for movement about a fixed pivot (46) between a reset position and at least two sample intake positions (10A, 10B, 10C). Also mounted on the support is a manually manipulable drive link assembly (72) that carries a slider (82) that receives the intake tube (10). A track (50) on the support guides movement of the link assembly (72) to slide the slider (82) along the intake tube between a reset position in which the inlet port is aligned with a waste receptacle (24), a first sample position in which the inlet port (136A) extends forward of the slider (82) for insertion into a sample container, and a second sample position in which the inlet port (136B) is housed in coupling structure carried by the slider (82) and presented to the operator for connection of a transfer device such as a capillary tube.</p> |
