When all or the necessary reagents have been confirmed to be connected and reset in this menu, and when
Start New Reagent Cycle is selected, the Install New Reagents cycle will be executed. It is the responsibility
of the user to make sure that all reagent volumes are programmed correctly in Reagents Monitor menu, the
reset of the reagents monitoring are carried out correctly in Install New Reagents menu and finally if
necessary the Zero Calibration cycle is activated either with the Start New Reagent Cycle function in Install
New Reagents menu or with the Run Zero Calibration function in Zero Calibration menu.
The Install New Reagents cycle consists of the following steps:
1. Reagent Purge: System purges and fills all reagent lines with the new reagents.
2. Zero Calibration: The Zero Adjust (zero offset) level is set for all analysis ranges, and the Reaction
Check level for TOC is updated (if the CO2 LEVEL is programmed as AUTO in Reaction Check
menu).
3. If Span Calibration or Span Check is activated in New Reagents Program menu, a Span Calibration
or Span Check is carried out.
Once the procedure is completed the BioTector either stops or returns online, depending on the programmed
setting of AUTOMATIC RE-START in New Reagents Program menu (see Section
Program
for details).
2.2.2.2
Purge Reagents & Zero
The Purge Reagents & Zero function is an automatic procedure to purge the reagents, to set the zero offset
and to set the reaction check levels in the BioTector. The program settings for the Reagent Purge are set up
in the Reagents Purge menu.
1. Purge Reagents & Zero. This option allows the user to run the Purge Reagents & Zero cycle.
2.2.3 System Range Data Screen
This menu displays the system specific, factory calibrated, analysis range data for all measured components
(e.g. TIC, TOC, TC). BioTector can be calibrated with up to 3 analysis ranges for each measured component.
When a specific component of a sample (e.g. TOC) is measured at a specific range (e.g. Range 2), the
analysis of any other components (e.g. TIC etc.) of the sample are also carried out at the same analysis
range.
