3.10 Loading and Injecting Samples
NOTE Samples can be injected using either the standard
injection valve or the optional auxiliary valve, if
installed. For more information, see the Chromeleon
Help or user’s manual.
The two techniques for loading samples into the sample loop are: (1) with an
autosampler or (2) with a syringe or vacuum syringe through the injection port on
the Dionex ICS-1100 front door.
For autosampler injections, the injection port tubing is disconnected from the
Dionex ICS-1100 injection valve and replaced by the autosampler outlet tubing.
Other setup requirements depend upon the model of autosampler.
