Configuring a new task
Configuring a new task
A new empty task can include information from an analytical run, which is 
either specified to run on a combined analytical and preparative instrument 
or which has been run on a separate analytical instrument. This is an 
analytical-to-preparative workflow task. It includes the upscaling of analytical 
conditions to the preparative instrument. A preparative-only (workflow) task 
does not include an analytical run and therefore has no upscaling. It defines a 
preparative run on the preparative instrument only. System suitability tasks 
are discussed in “System Suitability Tests” on page 38.
The following description is for an analytical-to-preparative task, which 
requires the completion of all configuration screens.
1 Click Add Task to create a new default purification task, template-based 
purification task or a copy/clone of the currently selected purification task. 
Provide a name for your new purification task.
2 Verify that the Analytical System matches the system providing the analytical 
run, and that the Preparative System corresponds to the current preparative 
instrument configuration.
The current instrument configuration of the preparative system is 
displayed in the table.
If one of the systems does not match, choose another template to create 
your task. If there is no matching template, create a new task with matching 
systems and save it as a template.
3 Select each of the subpages, Pumps & Detectors, Sampler, Delay Volumes and 
Columns, and verify that the parameters are correct. If they are not, select a 
suitable system.
4 Select the Ion Species page and select the ion species of interest for the 
analytical run. If necessary, select the charge states. For the preparative 
run, select what to do with the ion species.
5 Select the Analytical Run page and specify the source of the analytical run:
• To run an analytical scouting sequence on a combined analytical and 
preparative system, select an existing ChemStation sequence or prepare 
a sequence from scratch. Select the path and name of an existing
