Agilent 7500 ICP-MS ChemStation Operator's Manual
Setting Up a Sequence
If you do not enter a data file name, ChemStation automatically assigns one. The
system-assigned name is a 3-digit number with the sample type specific suffix. A 3
digit number is a run counter beginning at 001 for the first sample analyzed and
incremented by 1 for each subsequent sample. When ChemStation writes the files to
disk, it adds a.d extension to the file name to indicate that it is a data file.
6 Type a sample name and comment if necessary.
7 Select a level number or dilution factor.
If CalStd is selected as a sample type, select a level number from the drop-down list.
For the level number of the standard solution for calibration, select a number
corresponding to the level number of the calibration table set in Data Analysis for
the method.
For other samples, set a dilution factor by the following method.
1)To directly input a dilution factor, type a dilution factor in the Dilution/Level field.
No further steps are required.
2) When a similar final weight is applied to a multiple number of samples, the
dilution factor can be calculated based on the final weight, sample weight, and
dilution multiplier. Click the right mouse button on the Dilution/Level field and
select Show Dil factor calculation in the popup menu.
The Measured Value, Sample, and Dilution will appear.
3) Enter a numerical values in the Final Weight or Volume, Sample Weight or
Volume, and Multiplier fields.
The dilution factor will be automatically calculated and the result displayed in the
Dilution/Level field.
No further steps are required.
4) To calculate the dilution factor for a specific sample, double-click on the
Dilution/Level field.
