POS-Holder |
Description
The POS-Holder, blue or black POM, is screwed into the copper block of the Oroboros Main Unit, guiding the SmartPOS or OroboPOS to the Oroboros Chamber, and keeping it in a fixed position for sealing the Oroboros chamber with the POS-Seal Tip. In addition, the POS-Holder fixes the Oroboros chamber in an accurate rotational position by pressing against the angular cut of the glass chamber.
Two units of this item are standard components mounted on the Oroboros Main Unit.
POS-Holder: cV and sV
- Classic-volume POS-Holder cV: blue POM.
- Small-volume POS-Holder sV: black POM.
Assembly
- Manual: MiPNet22.11_O2k-FluoRespirometer-manual.pdf Section 5.2.
A damaged POS-Holder may cause liquid leak from the Oroboros chamber
- The POS-Holder may be damaged:
- During chamber assembly, when fixing the chamber in a wrong rotational position with the Chamber-Holder (from above) before the POS-Holder is fully inserted, and subsequently screwing tightly the POS-Holder (see center picture below).
- After fully unscrewing the POS-Holder and forcing during reassembly an improperly aligned holder into the thread of the Oroboros Main Unit.
- We recommend to check before any reassembly the mechanical integrity of the POS-Holder (see pictures below).
- Left picture: brand new POS-Holder, no damage on the thread, no damage on the edge.
- Center picture: used POS-Holder, almost no damage on the thread, the edge is slightly damaged.
- Right picture: heavily used POS-Holder, the thread is slightly damaged, serious damage on the edge of the aperture.
- Replacement of a damaged POS-Holder is recommended. For ordering spare parts: Spare parts & consumables
