Add new sample vials during a run

If you need to add new sample vials while the instrument is processing a sample set, use these
guidelines to minimize interruptions during the run:
• Have the new sample vial(s) ready so that you minimize the amount of time that the sample
compartment door is open.
• Wait until the run time displayed on the front panel is greater than 30 seconds before adding
the sample(s).
• Do not add any sample(s) during the last 30 seconds of the run.
• Ensure that the sample compartment door is closed at the start of each injection when
injection commands (selecting vial, washing the needle, drawing sample, and so forth) are
executing.
