5.1 Overview
Samples can be run manually, one at a time, or else grouped in batches and run
automatically. Figure 5-1
compares the typical steps performed in manual and
batch sample processing.
With either manual or batch sample processing, you can load samples into the
sample loop with either an autosampler (see Section 5.2
), or with a syringe
through the sample loading ports on the DC front door (see Section 5.3
).
