Setting up the Sampler
Auxiliary
•Draw Speed: determines the rate at which the plunger 
draws sample from the vial. Set the speed to an 
appropriate value for your sample. For viscous samples, 
use a slow Draw Speed.
• Eject Speed: determines the rate at which the plunger 
ejects sample from the metering device. If you are 
injecting large volumes of sample, setting a high Eject 
Speed will shorten the time needed for an injection 
cycle. For viscous samples in combination with 
multidraw, use a slow Eject Speed.
• Wait Time After Draw: ensures that the temporary 
vacuum, which originates from the drawing of liquid 
from the sample vial, dissipates. The needle stays first 
on the seat for the specified time, then after drawing 
sample from the vial, remains there for the specified 
time.
• Needle Height Offset: a vertical offset that enables you 
to position the needle a specific distance (in mm) away 
from its standard position. The Offset function is useful 
when analyzing very small sample volumes, or when 
only a specific part of the sample is required, for 
example, the top layer.
