Cartridge Carrier

This unique carrier allows for efficient and convenient transport and loading of ThermoFisher Scientific muli-prep cartridges in a high-throughput lab environment. Multiple prepared sample cartridges are loaded in the carrier allowing protective transport to the VeriSpray ion source instrument for quick loading and automated processing.  Many alternative DFM concepts were explored to achieve cost targets while maintaining established corporate design guidelines.
