To Bakeout Contaminants from the Purged Packed Inlet

Maintaining Your GC
1 Set the column flow to the normal operating value, or set
the capillary column gas velocity to 30 cm/s.
Purge the column with carrier flow for at least
2
10 minutes before heating the oven.
3 If the column is attached to the detector, set the detector
25 °C above normal operating temperature.
If the column is not attached to the detector, cap the
detector fitting.
4 Set the inlet temperature to 300 °C or 25 °C above the
normal operating temperature.
Set the column oven 25 °C above the GC method final

oven temperature to bake contaminants out of the inlet.
Do not exceed the column manufacturer's maximum
temperature limit.
Bakeout for 30 minutes or until the detector baseline is
