Tip: To run timed events without injecting a sample, select the Inject Samples
option from the Direct Functions menu, and enter an injection volume of 0
(see “Inject samples” on page 133).
Dry prime the system
Use the dry prime option to prime the system when the flow path in the
solvent management system is dry. See “Procedures for preparing the
separations module for operation” on page 112.
To dry prime the system:
1. Set up the reservoirs as described in “Install the degasser vent tubing”
on page 59.
2. Insert the solvent tubing into the appropriate reservoir(s).
Requirement: The detector waste line and the sample loop waste line
must drain into an appropriate container.
3. Gently shake the filters in the reservoirs to remove any bubbles that
may be trapped.
4. Attach an empty syringe to the prime/vent valve, as shown in the
following figure.
5. Open the valve by turning it counterclockwise 1/2 turn.
Tip: The syringe does not lock onto the prime/vent valve; hold it in place
while you pull on the plunger.
