About Chromatographic Checkout
The tests described in this section provide basic
confirmation that the GC and detector can perform
comparably to factory condition. However, as detectors and
the other parts of the GC age, detector performance can
change. The results presented here represent typical outputs
for typical operating conditions and are not specifications.
The tests assume the following:
• Use of an automatic liquid sampler. If not available, use a
suitable manual syringe instead of the syringe listed.
• Use of a 10- µL syringe in most cases. However, a 5- µL
syringe is an acceptable substitute.
• Use of the septa and other hardware (liners, jets,
adapters, and so forth) described. If you substitute other
hardware, performance can vary.
