3.10.2 Loading Samples with a Vacuum Syringe
1. Disconnect the waste line from port
W (6)
of the injection valve (see
Figure 3-7 ) and attach a shorter line: 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 inches) of
PEEK or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing.
2. Place the free end of the line into the sample.
3. Verify that the injection valve is in the Load position.
4. Insert the 1 cc syringe (P/N 016388) provided in the Dionex ICS-
1100 Ship Kit (P/N 057905) into the injection port on the Dionex
ICS-1100 front door (see
Figure 2-1 ) and pull out the plunger to draw
the sample into the injection valve.
5. Switch the injection valve to the Inject position (see Section 3.10.4 ).
3.10.3 Loading Samples with an Autosampler
1. Verify that the autosampler output line is connected to port
S (5)
of the
Dionex ICS-1100 injection valve.
2. Prepare and fill the sample vials and place them in the autosampler
tray or cassette. Refer to the autosampler manual for detailed
instructions.
3. The sample loading process depends on the autosampler. Refer to the
autosampler manual for detailed instructions. In general, use one of
the following methods:
•
Include the commands for controlling sample loading in a
Chromeleon program. (If necessary, refer to the Chromeleon
Help or user manual for assistance.)
•
Enter the commands for loading the sample on the autosampler
front panel.
4. Switch the injection valve to the Inject position (see Section 3.10.4 ).
