Prepare the Checkout Sample

Installation and First Startup
While the instrument comes to equilibrium, prepare the
checkout sample. The checkout method calls for a 5- µL
sample in a 20- mL headspace vial.
Snap the top off the checkout sample ampoule. Transfer
1
the contents to a screw- cap bottle.
Dispense one capillary pipette.

Hold the pipette with clean tweezers. With the checkout

sample bottle and the pipette as close to horizontal as
practical, dip the end of the pipette into the sample. See
Figure 18.

bottom edge of the pipette against the edge of the vial to
remove any droplets on the outside.
