Setting up an Analysis
This chapter can be used for
• preparing the system,
• to learn the set up of an HPLC analysis and
• to use it as an instrument check to demonstrate that all modules of the
system are correctly installed and connected. It is not a test of the instrument
performance.
• Learn about special settings
Before Using the System
Solvent Information
Observe recommendations on the use of solvents in chapter “Solvents” in the
pump’s reference manual.
Priming and Purging the System
When the solvents have been exchanged or the pumping system has been turned
off for a certain time (for example, overnight) oxygen will re-diffuse into the
solvent channel between the solvent reservoir, vacuum degasser (when available
in the system) and the pump. Solvents containing volatile ingredients will slightly
lose these. Therefore priming of the pumping system is required before starting
an application.
