# Pneumatic Sample Loader

![AFLoverview](_static/AFL_systemoverview.png)

The pneumatic sample loader tool adapts the [NIST Autonomous Formulations Laboratory sample loading system](https://www.nist.gov/ncnr/ncnr-facility-upgrades/autonomous-formulation-lab-afl) onto the Jubilee platform. This system adds the capability of transferring liquid samples prepared on the Jubilee platform to a flow cell sample container for measurement, for example with an x-ray scattering instrument. The science-jubilee 'tool' module of this system allows the NIST-AFL system and science-jubilee to co-exist and allows control of the AFL system from the science-jubilee control software. This NIST-AFL system is fully documented at the system's [repository](https://github.com/pozzo-research-group/AFL-sample-loader). See the build guide here for usage instructions.
