• When multiple injections are scheduled from a single vial, the sample
prep phase is performed once only (before the first injection). The
method setup and timed events are performed for each injection.
Specifying Vial Positions
Vial positions in prep operations can be specified by an absolute number
or a relative position.
• To specify an absolute number, press the numeric button(s) for the
desired position. The valid vial positions depend on the type of tray
installed:
NOTE To sample from a well plate, the AS must be under
Chromeleon or Chromeleon Xpress control.
• To enter a relative position, press Select Δ or Select ∇ to scroll
through the choices.
SMP is the sample vial specified for the current
injection in the schedule.
S+1 is one vial past the sample vial. S+2 is
two vials past the sample vial, and so on, up to
S+9. WST is the waste
port.
