Set the evaporation temperature to 95°C and the gas pressure to 2 bar (29 psi). Pump
the appropriate solvent through the system at the rate of 2 mL/min. the solvent will be
determined by the nature of the samples that were previously analyzed with the detector. if
you do not know the nature of the sample, ethanol is a good choice. Do not use solvents that
can potentially corrode the instrument. maintain the flow and temperature for a minimum of
three hours.
