Preparing for Operation
Preparing the ISM for operation involves installing the leak sensors and
flow-splitters, plumbing the waste tubing, priming the device, and
monitoring system status.
Requirement:
To maintain the efficiency of the ISM and to obtain accurate,
reproducible chromatograms, use only MS-grade solvents, water, and
additives (99.9% pure) or better. For details, see the Solvent Considerations
