• Check that the GC septum nut is not too tight.
• Check that the syringe is installed correctly into the syringe
carriage.
• Check that the needle support and guide are clean. Remove
any residue or septum deposits. Install a new needle support
assembly (7683) or needle support foot (7693A or 7650A) if
necessary.
• If using the cool on-column inlet, check that the correct
insert for the syringe is installed. See
Needle-to-Column Size on the COC Inlet
information.
• Check that you are using the proper syringe. The combined
length of the syringe barrel and needle should be
approximately 126.5 mm.
• Check that the sample vial dimensions meet specification.
See "Vial Mishandled by ALS (7693A)"
