is equilibrated prior to submitting a batch. Refer to
Equilibrate the System on page 84
Note:
Run the sample again in the event of an abnormal termination during sample acquisition. If the abnormal
termination is caused by a power failure, then the temperature of the autosampler tray is not maintained and
sample integrity might be compromised.
