Recording The Flow Cell Temperature; Predictive Performance; Operational Qualification And Performance Qualification - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

UltiMate 3000 Series:
Fluorescence Detectors FLD-3100 and FLD-3400RS

5.8.2 Recording the Flow Cell Temperature

The FLD_FlowCell channel for recording the flow cell temperature is available in the
Commands dialog box for the detector and on the FLD Options page in the Program
Wizard (→ page 68).
Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends always recording the flow cell temperature. If a
problem occurs, the temperature channel can provide helpful information to identify and
eliminate the source for the problem.

5.8.3 Predictive Performance

Predictive Performance provides various functions for estimating the lifetime of
consumables and for monitoring and recording service and (re)qualification information.
After you have ...
Serviced the detector (for example, annual
maintenance)
Performed instrument qualification
These commands reset the related counters and update the information when the action
was performed.
Control Panel
On the control panel for the detector, click Wellness, Qualification, and Service to see the
related predictive performance commands and parameters on separate panels. You can define
limits and grace periods for service and qualification intervals. In addition, wellness bars
provide visual indicators of qualification and service periods.
Color Description
Green Ok
Yellow The value will soon reach the specified limit and/or the related component needs
servicing or should be replaced soon.
Orange (Only for monitoring Qualification properties.) The value has reached the specified
limit. However, a Grace Period has been specified during which the component may still
be operated.
Red The value has reached the specified limit. Replacement, servicing, or qualification of the
detector is overdue. The detector can no longer be operated Besides, it is not possible to
start a batch.

5.8.4 Operational Qualification and Performance Qualification

Operational Qualification and Performance Qualification allow you to check and document
the performance of the HPLC system. All materials required for performing qualification
and detailed instructions are available on request.
