AMMRL: Samples ejecting (like missiles) from magnet

Hello everyone..

In our Agilent MR400 system we have an occasional but increasing
issue. Every once in a while, sometimes once a week, sometimes twice
in a day, samples will literally fly out of the bore to crash on the
magnet and eventually shatter on the floor.

Nothing has changed in the gas regulators in the console nor the air
regulators feeding the console. They are all set as they have always
been.

It seems as if something is getting stuck, pressure builds, and
releases suddenly upon eject...

Has anyone come across an issue like this?

Thanks,

Ken Knott
