Setup for a Dionex AS-AP Autosampler
For setup information for a Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ AS-SP Autosampler, refer to the
autosampler manual.
To load samples with a syringe

1. Verify that the injection port on the Dionex Aquion RFIC front door (see
connected to sample port
Figure 23. Injection valve connections
2. Fill the 1-cc syringe (P/N 016388) provided in the Dionex Aquion RFIC Ship Kit
(P/N 064375) with a calibration standard or sample.
3. Insert the syringe into the injection port on the Dionex Aquion RFIC front door (see
Figure 2).
4. Verify that the injection valve is in the Load position.
5. Overfill the sample loop with several sample loop volumes. Excess sample will exit
through the injection valve waste line.
6. Leave the syringe in the port and switch the injection valve to the Inject position (see
inject samples" on page
To load samples with a vacuum syringe

1. Disconnect the waste line from port
replace it with a piece of PEEK or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing that is 25 to
30 cm (10 to 12 in) long.
2. Place the free end of the PEEK or PTFE line into the sample.
3. Verify that the injection valve is in the Load position.
4. Insert the 1-cc syringe (P/N 016388) provided in the Dionex Aquion RFIC Ship Kit
(P/N 064375) into the injection port on the Dionex Aquion RFIC front door (see
Figure 2) and pull out the plunger to draw the sample into the injection valve.
5. Switch the injection valve to the Inject position (see
