    Using the Anion Analysis Kit Figure 1.1 Buffer Tray Configuration for Anion Analysis 4. Load the Inlet Buffer and Outlet Buffer trays in the instrument. Note: When analyzing fluoride and/or phosphate ions, fill a vial with Anion Acid Rinse and place it in position F1 of the Inlet Buffer Tray. The use of the Anion Acid Rinse is required when running the Anion Inorganic Test Mix to avoid peak tailing.

    Using the Anion Analysis Kit Time Program for Anion Shutdown Method Figure 1.9 Time Program for Anion Shutdown Method Checking System Performance Using the Anion Organic Test Mix To check system performance, run the Anion Organic Test Mix after performing the Capillary Conditioning method.
  • Page 15: Using The Anion Inorganic Test Mix

    Using the Anion Analysis Kit Using the Anion Inorganic Test Mix To check system performance, run the Anion Inorganic Test Mix after performing the Capillary Conditioning method. Compare the electropherogram obtained with the one shown in Figure 1.11. The electrical current during the separation should be stable around -53 µA. A negative electrical value indicates that reverse polarity was used in the separation.
