Reinitialize the system
It is good practice to reinitialize the system instruments at least once a week.
When the separations module and detectors are power-cycled (powered-off for
a minimum of one minute, and then powered-on), each undergoes a complete
system initialization, including internal diagnostics and verifications. This
procedure helps ensure that the mechanical and electrical components, as well
as internal firmware, synchronize for proper operation.
Load sample vials
Loading the sample vials involves these tasks:
• Removing the carousel from the sample compartment
• Loading the vials into the carousel
• Loading the carousel into the sample compartment
Remove the carousel
To remove a carousel from the sample compartment:
1. Open the carousel door.
2. Press the Next screen key, or select the desired carousel screen key (A to
E), to move the desired carousel to the front loading position.
3. Remove the carousel from the sample chamber.
Load vials
Use only 12 × 32-mm (2-mL) sample vials. See Appendix C for information on
ordering vials. Also, see “Vials and low volume inserts” on page 286 for
information on setting syringe draw depth offsets.
Insert the prepared vials into the appropriate positions in the carousel(s). Be
sure to place vials in the numbered slots that correspond to the sample set (if
any) you are using. For an overview of the vial positions specified in the
sample set, display the vial numbers in the Loading View of the Sample Set
table (see “View sample sets” on page 139). If you are not using a sample set,
enter the vial positions containing the samples in the Inject Samples dialog
box (see “Inject samples” on page 133).
