Pipetting Liquid from One Vial to Another
The PIPET operation uses the sample syringe to transfer liquid from a
source vial to a destination vial. After pipetting, mix the destination vial
before sampling from it. Be sure to specify enough mix cycles to
completely mix the vial contents (see “Mixing a Vial” below).
NOTE Unlike the DILUTE operation, the PIPET operation does
not include an automatic mixing step. If the sample
preparation option is installed, use the
DILUTE
operation, not PIPET, for dilutions (see “Diluting” on
page 288).
Mixing a Vial
The AS mixes the vial by repeatedly drawing up and expelling a volume
of the contents. The prep syringe is used if the sample preparation option
is installed; otherwise, the sample syringe is used. When specifying the
volume, enter a value that is less than or equal to the volume of the
syringe. If the volume is greater than the syringe volume, an error
message occurs and the syringe volume is used.
