2-12 Preparing for Operation
Waste position
In the waste position, both the LC flow and the infusion syringe flow are
directed to waste. The syringe mode can be only static or dispensing (that is,
never drawing).
Purging the infusion syringe
Whenever you replace a solution bottle, purge the infusion syringe with the
solution that you are going to use next. See the mass spectrometer’s online
Help for details.
Tip: Depending on the solutions used, the IntelliStart Fluidics system can
require more than one purge cycle to minimize carryover.
Rebooting the instrument
Reboot the instrument when any of these conditions applies
• The Tune window fails to respond.
