Optimizing Performance

 

Optimization for Lowest Carryover

Using an Injector Program

The process is based on a program that switches the bypass grove of the 
injection valve into the flow line for cleaning. This switching event is performed at 
the end of the equilibration time to ensure that the bypass grove is filled with the 
start concentration of the mobile phase. Otherwise the separation could be 
influenced, especially if microbore columns are used.

Example

Outside wash of needle in vial p2-A1 before injection
Injector program:

•

Draw x.x (y) µl from sample

•

WASH vial location p2-A1

•

Inject
Wait (equilibration time - see text above)
Valve bypass
Wait 0.2 min
Valve mainpass (main path)
Valve bypass
Valve mainpass (main path)

NOTE

Overlapped injection together with additional injection valve switching is not 
possible.
