D.5.9 Example Method for Dilution
NOTE The sample preparation option is required for this
method.
This method uses the sample preparation option to dilute a sample before
injection. In this method, the AS delivers 600
μL of the concentrated
sample from vial 6 and 5400
μL of diluent from reagent reservoir A to the
sample vial. Default values are used for all other method parameters.
Figure D-11
shows the sample prep steps for the method.
D.6 Creating Schedules from the AS Front Panel
A schedule defines injection parameters for each vial to be sampled. A schedule
consists of the following parameters:
• The vials to sample
• The number of injections to draw from each vial
• The volume of each injection
• The method to run on each injection
• The action to take when a scheduled vial is missing
You can create a new schedule or edit an existing schedule when the
AS is
running, on hold, or stopped. If the schedule you are editing is currently running,
changes to steps that have not yet been completed are performed in the current
run. Changes made to steps that have already completed are performed the next
time the schedule runs.
