Parameter Description
METHOD Number of the method currently selected for editing.
TEMPERATURE Temperature at which the extraction cell is heated (Off,
40 to 200 °C).
STATIC TIME Static solvent extraction time (0 to 99 minutes).
FLUSH VOLUME Amount of solvent flushed through the cell after the
static heating step, expressed as a percentage of the cell
volume (0 to 150%). For example, if the
FLUSH
VOLUME
is 50%, 5 mL of solvent is flushed through a
10 mL cell, 17 mL of solvent is flushed through a 34 mL
cell, and so on.
PURGE TIME Amount of time the cell is purged with nitrogen (0 to
900 seconds). Dionex recommends the following
settings: 40 to 80 seconds for a 10 mL cell, 70 to 110
seconds for a 34 mL cell, 160 to 200 seconds for a 66
mL cell, and 250 to 290 seconds for a 100 mL cell.
STATIC CYLE Number of times the static heating and flushing steps
are performed (1 to 5). If more than one cycle is
specified, the flush volume is divided among the cycles.
