How to “Bake Out” the GC Injection Port and Column
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Baking the GC column at temperatures above 300ºC may
degrade the stationary phase.
La cuisson de la colonne GC à des températures supérieures à
300 ° C peut dégrader la phase stationnaire.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Baking the GC column w ithout helium carrier gas may degrade
the stationary phase.
La cuisson de la colonne GC sans gaz porteur d'hélium peut
dégrader la phase stationnaire.
1. Change the following parameters to 300ºC: Injector Temp, Column Begin Temp and
Column End Temp by using the Chromion software to edit the instrument settings in the Gas
Chromatography screen.
2. Before saving or sending the method, note the currently open methods name. Use the “Save
as” option under the “Method” menu to change the name of the method to “Bake Out”.
Send and make active the modified method to the instrument.
3. Run a blank run.
This will set the temperatures to the elevated settings.
4. To change the settings back to the previous settings use the Chromion software to open the
previously loaded method and then send the method to the instrument.
5. Select the “send and make active” option and again run a system blank to switch the GC
parameters back to normal operating temperatures and to ensure that the bake out
procedure cleaned the GC properly.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Verify that the parameters have been restored on the Torion T-9
GC/ MS by view ing the temperature settings under Advanced >
Diagnostics > GC.
Vérifiez que les paramètres ont été restaurés sur le Torion T-9
GC / MS en regardant les réglages de température sous
Advanced> Diagnostics> GC.
