Priming the auxiliary solvent manager
Priming, a timed operation, replaces solvent in the path from the reservoir to
the auxiliary solvent manager. During priming, the vent valve moves to Vent
position to ensure minimal backpressure.
Prime the auxiliary solvent manager when performing these tasks:
•
Changing reservoirs or solvents
•
Preparing a new system or auxiliary solvent manager for use
•
Running the system after it has been idle for more than four hours
To prime the auxiliary solvent manager:
1.
In the nanoACQUITY UPLC Console, select Auxiliary Solvent Manager
from the system tree.
2.
Click Control > Prime A/B Solvents.
Prime A/B Solvents dialog box:
3.
Select solvent B, and then select B1.
4.
In the Time box, specify the number of minutes from 0.10 through
999.99. The default value is 1.0 minute.
Recommendation:
2.0 minutes.
5.
Click Start.
6.
When finished, repeat as needed for B1 and for all solvents in use.
