The Role of the Operator
This chapter describes the role of the user of the Automated Purification 
Software in Easy Prep mode.
Operators of the Automated Purification Software work in Easy Prep mode to 
perform purification runs. If the samples have not been analyzed on a separate 
analytical instrument, the purification runs include the analytical runs. 
Typically, the Operators have been trained by a Method Developer on the work 
environment and operating procedures.
The Operators:
• provide the samples for use in the purification run
• know the analytical and preparative instrument and operating system 
settings that apply to their samples. These have been set up in the 
purification software by a Method Developer.
• set up a purification run in the purification software by creating a 
purification task based on a matching task template prepared by a Method 
Developer. Operators can also create a new task as a clone of an existing 
task, for example, to re-run a stopped task, to run samples of the original 
task that have not yet been run, or to repeat a system suitability task.
• complete the missing information (analytical data source, 
analytical-to-preparative vial mapping, and injection volume) to run the 
task.
• run the purification task and review the results.
For Operators, access to the Automated Purification Software is limited to the 
main purification workflow user interface (the purification task screen) and 
its key settings (system definition, analytical and preparative run). While in 
the purification task screen, ChemStation functionality is inaccessible to avoid 
unintended interference. The ChemStation screen reports are thus not 
suitable for Operators.
If Operators get stuck or need help, they should contact a Method Developer.
