Note:
If the FID test sample is not available, the TCD test sample can be used if first diluted
100:1.
To run one of these test samples, use the chromatographic conditions listed
below. The detector should be operated at its most sensitive range, e.g., 12
for FID and TSD, 0.05 for TCD, 10 for PFPD, and 1 for ECD. The resultant
chromatogram should approximate that shown in the detector section of this
manual.

Observe the eluting peaks for symmetry, separation, and elution time. Abnormally wide or
skewed peaks, excessive elution times, abnormally small peaks, and noisy or drifting
baselines indicate faulty performance.
The 1061 Flash Vaporization Injector
The 1061 flash vaporization injector is designed for use with large-bore fused
silica columns of 0.53 mm ID but can be operated in two modes: the capillary
column mode or the packed column mode. Switching from one mode to
another involves changing the injector and detector column mounting
hardware. The 1061 is supplied with capillary mounting hardware as
standard. If you wish to operate the injector in the packed column mode then
a packed column adapter kit must be ordered (03-925588-92). This kit
contains injector and detector hardware to facilitate use of the injector with
1/8
″
metal packed columns. Complete instructions are provided in this kit for
installing and operating the injector in the packed column mode.
