17 Chromatographic Checkoutï€
Operation Manual 237
To Prepare for Chromatographic Checkout
Because of the differences in chromatographic performance associated with different
consumables, Agilent strongly recommends using the parts listed here for all checkout tests.
Agilent also recommends installing new consumable parts whenever the quality of the
installed ones is not known. For example, installing a new liner and septum ensures that they
will not contribute any contamination to the results.
When the GC is delivered from the factory, these consumable parts are new and do not need
replacement.
For a new GC, check the installed inlet liner. The liner shipped in the inlet may not be the liner
recommended for checkout.
1 Check the indicators/dates on any gas supply traps. Replace/recondition expended traps.
2 Install new consumable parts for the inlet and prepare the correct injector syringe (and
needle, as needed).
