Abstract: Systems and methods are described for integrated sample container cover removal and sample probe positioning. In an example implementation, an autosampler system includes, but is not limited to, a z-axis support rotatable about a z-axis of an autosampler deck; a sample probe support structure coupled to the z-axis support, the sample probe support structure configured to hold a sample probe to withdraw a fluid-containing sample held within a sample container supported by the autosampler deck; and a sample cap remover coupled to the z-axis support in an orientation that is rotationally offset from the z-axis support with respect to the sample probe support structure, the sample cap remover configured to lift a cap from the sample container to provide access to an interior of the sample container by the sample probe supported by the sample probe support structure.

Abstract: A fluid handling assembly for selectively coupling and decoupling with a pipet tip can include a sampling arm, an arm cover, a probe carrier unit, a probe, and a biasing spring. The arm cover can be carried by the sampling arm. The probe carrier unit can be movably mounted within the arm cover, with the probe carrier unit including a probe release structure and a main probe carrier. The probe release structure and the main probe carrier can be interconnected. The probe can be carried by the main probe carrier and movable through a probe opening in the arm cover. The probe can be configured to releasably carry a pipet tip. The biasing spring can be carried within the arm cover and can contact the probe release structure. The biasing spring can bias the probe release structure to push the probe down toward the probe opening in the arm cover.
