The Materials Handler,[1] also known as the sample cart,[2] is a device used by Black Mesa scientists to deliver material samples (such as Xen crystals) to Sector C's Test Lab C-33/a where they are analyzed by the Anti-Mass Spectrometer.

Overview[edit]
Samples are held by the cart's pincers while a scientist pushes the instrument to its intended destination. On the day of the Black Mesa Incident, Gina Cross brings the sample cart holding sample GG-3883 into the lift below the test chamber.[3] Above, Gordon Freeman puts it into the Anti-Mass Spectrometer's beam, triggering the Resonance Cascade.[4] The cart was completely destroyed during the ensuing devastation.
Behind the scenes[edit]
The Materials Handler was designed to resemble a futuristic shopping cart.[5]
