Sample preparation and methodology must conform to the
standards dictated in API MPMS Chapters 8.3 and 10.9.
To draw a sample, first flush the syringe with sample
fluid. Draw this sample into the syringe and
discharge the sample into a waste container a
minimum of three times.
After the syringe has been properly flushed, draw a
new sample in to the syringe. The sample volume
drawn should be slightly larger than the desired
amount.
Invert the syringe so that the needle end is point-
ing up. Wrap the needle in a paper towel (to absorb
discharged excess fluid) and hold syringe by needle
end. Tap the body of the syringe to allow any air bub-
bles to rise to the top. Slowly press plunger to dis-
charge air bubbles and excess sample fluid from the
inside of the syringe. The tip of the plunger should
exactly align with the sample volume marking.
Press NEW SAMPLE key on Keypad.
The display will read “Inject Sample” and a thirty-
second countdown will begin.
Insert syringe needle through the Sample Injection
Port, piercing the Septum and continuing into the
cell until the needle tip is fully submerged in the
Reagent.
Inject the sample into the Reagent. This should be
done in a single, swift movement, but do not allow
the sample to splash up against the wall of the
Generator Solution Cell or the needle to touch the
sides of the cell.
Electrolysis begins automatically by the injection of
the sample. When the analysis is completed, the
unit beeps and the results will be displayed on the
Titration Complete screen.
