4.1. Select the desired solvent for the cycle and rinse.
NOTE
It is suggested that the extraction solvent and rinse solvents be the same. The selected solvent must be
assigned in "Bottle Setup." If you attempt to save a method using a solvent that is not assigned in bottle
setup, a "Bottle Setup Missing Solvent" error will display. Refer to the "Bottle Setup & Configuration"
section in this manual to properly assign a solvent line.
4.2. Select the solvent volume for Top Volume, Bottom Volume, and Rinse Volume. The maximum volume for
one cycle is 40 mL.

NOTE
For larger sample sizes filling the Q-Cup, the bottom add may need to be eliminated and added to the top
add to ensure full saturation of solvent in sample.
4.3. Enter the desired temperature.
CAUTION
Maximum temperature will be solvent-dependent. The software will only allow safe running conditions.
For plastic samples, the set temperature must be below the melting point.
4.4. Scroll down and enter the desired Hold Time.
5. If applicable, add a second cycle. Multiple cycles may be necessary when analyte of interest is highly concen-
trated.
