The following parameters can be viewed/edited:
•
Pre-washing: enables/disables the pre-washing operation. The Fiber pre-washing is
performed after the extraction (before the desorption) by immersion inside a proper
solution (wash vial in position 7 of Figure 1);
•
Pre-Washing Time: sets the time of the pre-washing operation (see above)
•
Post-Cleaning: enables/disables the post-cleaning operation. The Fiber post-cleaning is
the Fiber cleaning after the desorption operation. The cleaning is performed in the
location specified as “Clean mode” in the Setup Configuration: Run (see paragraph
4.2.6.3).
•
Post-Cleaning Time: sets the time of the post-cleaning operation (see above).

5.3.2.4 Extraction parameters
Access sequence: RUN>SETTINGS>METHODS>METHOD X>EXTRACTION
The following parameters can be viewed/edited:
•
Extraction Time: time the Fiber is exposed inside the vial to absorbe the analytes;
•
Extraction Depth: the depth of the Fiber inside the vial during the extraction phase (see
tables below for setting the depth correctly);
•
Derivatization: see 11 “Appendix A – Glossary“. It can have the following values:
Pre
Derivatization before the extraction
Post
Derivatization after the extraction
None
No derivatization
•
Derivatization Time: time the Fiber is exposed to the derivatization agent;
•
Derivatization Depth: depth of the Fiber inside the vial during the derivatization (see
tables below for setting the depth correctly).
For Extraction Depth and Derivatization depth, the position “Under septum” (depth =0) is
between 5 and 7mm under vial septum. This spread depends on the vials height and the
mechanical tolerance of the oven loading.
