Acquisition

The following chapters contain information about how to perform Acquisition including Method Setup.

Below there is description of a procedure that can be used for performing routine analysis of uniform samples. Steps are described in more details in linked topics.

  1. Measure typical sample.
  2. Adjust the integration of the chromatogram as needed. Details are described in How to integrate chromatogram topic.
  3. Save the method including this adjusted integration. Details are described in Saving the chromatogram method as a template method topic.
  4. Create model calibration that will be used in calibration cloning. Details are described in Creating model calibration to use in calibration cloning topic.
  5. Set the calibration cloning in the sequence, method (and potentially in the calibration). Details are described in Calibrating using clone on first recalibration or Compensating for response drift using bracketing, Improving quantification with the standard addition method.
  6. Create a sequence. Do not fill the levels of standard samples and post run actions.
  7. Run the sequence
  8. Review the data. In case some minor adjustments are needed adjust the integration.
  9. Fill in the Levels and Post Run actions to the sequence file.

    Note:

    If you need to sign the documents and print the report with the signature do not fill the Print actions in the sequence now. After the recalibration is performed, manually sign every chromatogram and then use Batch dialog - Post run options to print the reports with signatures.

  10. In Batch dialog perform Complete Processing of the sequence. Details are described in Reprocessing whole sequence topic.
  11. Now you have the sequence recalibrated, reports printed and possibly other Post Run actions performed.
