Verifying Performance

This section contains Standard Operating Procedures along with typical
examples of test sample chromatograms.
Note that injection volumes listed do not necessarily indicate the absolute
volume injected. The volume reflects the graduation (plunger position) read
from a standard 10 µL syringe. For a heated inlet, the actual sample volume
injected may include an additional 0.4 to 0.7 µL, the volume of sample
volatilized from inside the syringe needle.
Note that the following procedures and results are intended to provide
evidence of a properly functioning inlet and/or detector system.

Software required

The procedures in this section require use of a ChemStation. They are written
for manual syringe injection.
If you are using Cerity Chemical, you can perform the chemical checkout for
each detector by loading the specified method and running the checkout
sample. Cerity Chemical cannot perform the noise test.
If a component is not yet supported on your data system version, you can enter
the appropriate chemical checkout settings using a control module.
