Tip:

Starting the system

Use the Start up system function after the system has been idle a short period
of time (as much as 12 hours) and when you plan to use the same solvents that
you used during the previous run.
Start the "Start up system" function from the control panel.
BSM Recommendations:
• Prime the binary solvent manager for 1 minute for each solvent when
the system has been idle for four or more hours, and you intend to use
the solvents already in the system.
• Prime the binary solvent manager for four minutes for each solvent
when you intend to use fresh solvents of the same composition as those
already in the system.
SM - FTN recommendations:
• If you are changing solvents, prime the wash syringes and sample
syringe for 35–50 cycles.
• If you are using the same solvent, prime the wash syringes and sample
syringe for 20 cycles.
• Ensure the seal is characterized upon startup, and repeat the
characterization periodically.
To refresh the system:
1. In the ACQUITY UPLC Console, click Control > Start up system.
2. In the Start up system dialog box, review the settings, and select a
different option, if needed.
• Solvent line A only (default)
• Solvent line B only
• Both A and B
