This chapter gives step-by-step instructions for the important calibration
procedures for the Purification system.
Before starting the calibration procedure(s), check that all prerequisites are
available (solvents, samples and others). The list is placed in the beginning of
each document.
The calibration procedures are a set of measurements and calculations that
calibrate all required parameters for the Purification software. The work-flow
is as follows:
