3.
Use the controls to adjust the position of the nanoTile until it matches
the cross-hairs.
On the camera view, the analytical nanoTile is usually within 0.25 mm
of the marked emitter position.
4.
Adjust the Z axis as necessary.
Preparing for sample analysis
To prepare for sample analysis:
1.
Create a nanoACQUITY Binary Solvent Manager instrument method
using the single-trapping fluid configuration.
•
In the analytical tab, select the A and B solvents, and enter the seal
wash period and the steps in the gradient table.
•
In the trapping tab, enter the flow rate, percentages of solvents A
and B, and sample loading time.
Limitation:
2.
Create a sample manager instrument method.
•
Select Partial Loop for the sample loop option.
•
Select water for weak wash and acetonitrile for strong wash.
•
Increase the weak wash to 1000 µL to improve retention of
hydrophilic peptides.
•
Enter 35 °C for the nanoTile temperature.
3.
In the MassLynx application, create a sample list, and then acquire
data.

Tips:
•
During the trapping phase, the gas is audible.
•
Click nanoTile in the console tree for current nanoTile information.
•
The EEPROM in the nanoTile stores information such as usage and
nanoTile history of sample sets.

Preparing the System
The high pressure limit is 34,500 kPa (345 bar, 5000 psi).
The TRIZAIC UPLC System is ready to inject samples.
