select Save As from the File menu, and enter a new
name for the sequence.
3.11.2 Automatic (Batch) Sample Processing
For batch processing, you use Chromeleon to create a list of samples (a
sequence) to be processed automatically. For each sample, the sequence
includes a program with commands and parameters for controlling the
ICS-1000, controlling the autosampler (if used), and acquiring sample
data. The sequence also includes a quantification method for peak
identification and area determination. Additional sample processing
parameters are included in the sequence (for example, the sample name,
sample type, injection volume, etc.).
After defining the sequence, you can start batch processing.
1. Complete the steps in Sections 3.2
through 3.8 to prepare for
operation and to start up the ICS-1000.
2. Create a new sequence or modify an existing one.
To create a new sequence:
a. In the Browser, select File>New. Select Sequence (using
Wizard) and click OK.
b. Complete the steps in the Sequence Wizard, adding the desired
number of samples and standards to the list. For help with any of
the steps, click the Help button on the Sequence Wizard page.
NOTE A simple way to get started is to select the “Use
Application Template” option in Step 4 of the
Sequence Wizard. This option lets you select a
column and suppressor type from a list of
applications. The Wizard then copies a program
and quantification method, appropriate for the
selected application, to the sequence folder and adds
them to the sequence definition.
