Installation Checklists (see Appendix)
The Pinnacle PCX instrument is shipped in one carton. Application Kits may be shipped in one or more cartons
each. Report any carton damage to the carrier. Unpack all cartons and review the contents using the Packing
List to ensure that your order is complete. If any items are missing, immediately contact Pickering Laboratories
at (650) 694-6700 or by fax at (650) 968-0749.
Store any standards in the freezer or refrigerate immediately upon arrival. Pickering Amino Acid, Carbamate,
and Glyphosate columns are shipped with test mixtures. Remove the vials from the box and freeze upon arrival.
While installing the Pinnacle PCX complete the Installation Checklist located in the Appendix. When the
installation is completed, fax or mail the checklist back to Pickering Laboratories and place in the front of the
Operation Manual under the tab labeled Installation. If the customer requires it, complete the IQ/OQ procedure
(also located in Appendix) and add that to the tab labeled Installation.
Read all installation instructions and material safety data sheets (MSDS’s) before operating your post-column
derivatization instrument and HPLC system.
