6.1.1 Preparation
Glass insert preparation Confirm that the insert is appropriate for the injection mode, that the
silica wool has not moved, and that the glass insert O-ring has not
deteriorated.
Septum preparation After approximately 100 injections, replace the septum.
(50 injections for a thick needle)
Column preparation Attach the column to the hanger, install the hanger, and verify the
proper position of the graphite ferrules. Tighten the injection port and
detector collumn nuts.
When
the above preparations are complete, turn on the GC.
6.1.2 Setting Parameters
Set the column information From the [Column] (PF menu) of the [FLOW] key screen, set the column
and the flow rates inner diameter, the column length and the film thickness. From the
[Purge] (PF menu) of the [FLOW] key screen, set the purge flow rate.
From the [FLOW] key screen, set the column inlet pressure,
the injection mode, the split ratio, the sampling time, etc.
Changing the column temperature after the flow rate has been set
may change the flow rate.
Set the temperature of the From the screens of the [INJ] and [DET] keys, set the temperatures.
detector and the injection port If the detector is set to “Off”, turn it “On”. From [DET Gas] (PF
menu), set hydrogen, air, makeup gas, etc.
Set the COL temperature and From the screen of the [COL] key, set the column initial temperature
the temperature program and the temperature program. The column temperature settings
must be within the permitted column range and must be less than
detector temperature.
Start GC control Press the [SYSTEM] key to display the main screen.
Press [Start GC] (PF menu) to start GC control.
Press the [MONIT] key, and ensure that the temperature of each
zone, the gas flow rate, the gas pressure, etc. are correct.
Set the detector From the screen of the [DET] key, set the range and the time filter
constant.
Ensure that the temperature of the detector is rising, then ignite the
FID or set the TCD current value.
When all parameters reach
their respective setup values, the STATUS indicator light
becomes green and the system is ready for analysis.
The default zero parameter, “Zero at Ready” zeroes the detector sig-
nal when the GC is ready.
