Checklist
Use the checklist below to make sure your
Autosampler CE system is set up properly and
ready to be calibrated.
Ensure that:
❏ You have two properly crimped, empty pans
to use in the calibration procedure (see
Chapter 5 for pan crimping instructions).
Hermetic or open pans are not
recommended for calibration. When you
have finished and checked your calibration,
you can cycle hermetic or open pans for
further verification.
❏ The DSC cell is level and properly installed.
❏ Air lines and optional cell purge nitrogen gas
lines are connected.
❏ The Autosampler CE is on and has passed
the confidence tests.
❏ The DSC cell has been calibrated for
temperature, cell constant, and baseline (see
your Thermal Solutions/Advantage User
Reference Guide for instructions).
❏ The DSC cell is clean and free of corrosion
or boiled-out material from previous
experiments.
