If an LC method is used, then before the run is started, make sure that there is
enough solvent in the reservoirs for the primary flow rate for all of the sample runs
and the maximum idle time.
5. Select Leave Mass Spec on in Standby to keep the mass spectrometer running
after analysis has been completed. This feature allows the heaters and gases to
continue running, even after devices have entered idle state, so that the ion source
and entrance to the mass spectrometer are kept free of contaminants.
6. Select Fail Whole Batch in Case of Missing Vial to fail the entire batch when a
missing vial is encountered. If this option is not selected, only the current sample will
fail and the queue will continue to the next sample.
