When the rinse cycle is complete (after about 1 minute), three beeps are
emitted and the
RINSE
button LED turns off.
8. Remove the collection vessel used for the rinse cycle.
9. If the oven is hot and you want to start a run right away:
a. Put on the thermal gloves (P/N 060372) provided in the ASE 150 Ship Kit
(P/N 066399).
b. Remove the rinse cell from the cell holder and place it on the cell rack
(P/N 059927) to cool.
c. Close the cell door until the next run, to save energy and prevent anyone
from accidentally touching a hot surface.
3.6 Editing a Custom Method (Methods 1 through 24)
If none of the ASE 150 preprogrammed methods described in Section 2.5 is
suitable for a particular extraction, edit one of the custom methods provided with
the ASE 150.
Before beginning, review the method development guidelines in Section 3.7 and
the range of values allowed for each method parameter in Table 3-1 . All
parameters in the custom methods are initially set to their default values.
Parameter Function Value Range
TEMPERATURE Temperature at which to heat the cell. Off, 40 to
200
° C (default
= 100)
STATIC TIME The number of minutes to maintain the cell
contents (sample and solvent) at the
temperature set point. 0 to 99 min
(default = 5)
RINSE VOLUME Amount of solvent to rinse through the sample
cell after the static heating step, expressed as a
percentage of the cell volume. For example, if
the
RINSE VOLUME
is set to 50%, 5 mL is
rinsed through a 10-mL cell, 17 mL is rinsed
through a 34-mL cell, and so on.
0 to 150%
volume in 5%
increments
(default = 60)
