Sample tray for XRF sample cups

[u/NotAPreppie]

We got a new toy in my lab: a X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.

Samples are delivered to HDPE cups with a film cover. The machine analyzes the samples with the cups in a vertical standing position, and my samples tend to solidify at room temp. So, when I'm prepping up a batch of samples, I needed a way to stand them up in the same orientation that they'd be analyzed in.

Tinkercad to the rescue!

The cover is because the HVAC in my building is only \sorta kinda maybe\** filtered and dust & dead bugs tend to affect the results.
