Before you can operate your GC/MSD system, you must select, install, and
condition a GC column. This chapter shows you how to install and condition a
column. For correct column and flow selection, you must know what type of
vacuum system your MSD has. The serial number tag on the lower front of the
left side panel shows the model number.
