Chromatographic Checkout 6
Operation Manual 81
4
Display the signal output and monitor. This output
typically runs between 40 and 55 but can be as high as
70. Wait for the output to stabilize. This takes
approximately 1 hour.
If the baseline output is too high:
• Check column installation. If installed too high, the
stationary phase burns in the flame and increases
measured output.
• Check for leaks.
• Bake out the detector and column at 250 °C.
• Wrong flows set for installed filter.
If the baseline output is zero, verify the electrometer is on
and the flame is lit.
5 If using a data system, prepare the data system to
perform one run using the loaded checkout method. Make
sure that the data system will output a chromatogram.
6 Start the run.
If performing an injection using an autosampler, start the
run using the data system or press [Start] on the GC.
