The FLUSH run mode can be used to program a flush cycle when needed. Flushing is used when
a problem is suspected, such as cross-contamination between samples or particulates in the
system, which could cause symptoms such as erratic test results, poor repeatability, unstable
signal, etc. To use the Flush mode, fill a vial with the same sample to be tested and place it in the
Sample Injection Port Assembly. Select FLUSH as the run mode (rather than freeze point, cloud
point, or pour point). The analyzer will flush the sample through the system.
