Sample sets

A sample set applies functions to separation methods. Examples of functions
include (inject) sample, purge, prime, and equilibrate. When you combine a
function with a separation method, the resulting sample set directs the
separations module regarding what to do, when to do it, and under what
conditions. You can use multiple separation methods in a sample set.

Sample templates

Using sample templates, you preprogram a sample set so that the operator
needs only to enter the number and location of samples and standards. The
sample template then prompts you to load and prime the correct solvents for
the sample set. As with any sample set, the sample template can use multiple
separation methods.
Sample templates are useful in regulatory-compliant laboratories that follow
standard operating procedures. Senior personnel can develop, program, and
lock the sample template to prevent any unauthorized changes to a sample
template. Once you prepare the separations module according to the on-screen
directions, the sample template can run unattended.

Create and edit separation methods

You create and edit separation methods using the Methods screen and six
method parameter screens. From the Methods screen, you can perform these
tasks:
• Create a new separation method
• Edit an existing separation method
• Copy and then edit an existing method
