Order of Runs
To avoid mistakes, we suggest that you place the
pans in the sample tray in the order in which you
intend to run them. The following paragraphs
suggest some guidelines for determining the
order of your runs.
Perform Cooling Methods Before Heating
Methods. Unlike the electricity that supplies the
cell heater, the LNCAs supply of liquid nitrogen
is limited. Thus, you can keep the amount of
liquid nitrogen needed to do a cooling method at
a minimum by putting all cooling-only runs at the
beginning of the AS run sequence. If you plan to
run combination cooling/heating methods, these
methods should come next, followed finally by
any heating-only methods.
Keep Runs of a Similar Method Together. For
example, if you plan to run some of your samples
through a cooling method with the LNCA or
RCS and some through heating methods, you
should run all of the cooled samples consecu-
tively to prevent unnecessary waste of your
liquid nitrogen supply. If you alternate heating
and cooling runs, the cell heater will have to
work harder to bring the cell up to temperature,
and the LNCA or RCS will have to work harder
to bring the temperature down again.
