Setting the Peristaltic Pump Program

You can determine the speed at which the peristaltic pump runs, and set a delay to
allow for the time it takes for the sample to reach the plasma and stabilize. If the
ASX-500 or ASX-100 is set as the autosampler in the ICP-MS Configuration, then
the window to set up the time and pump speed during the rinse is added.
Before the acquisition of data, the sample uptake runs. During uptake, the pump
speed increases to the set value. After Uptake Time has elapsed, the pump speed
goes to the value to be set in the Tuning Parameters, and pumps at that value for the
duration of the stabilization time. After stabilization, data acquisition begins. If an
autosampler is configured, you can set post-acquisition rinse parameters.
