2 Preparing the instrument
Ensure that the eluent aspiration tubing is immersed in the eluent
￭
and that there is enough eluent in the eluent bottle.
– STREAM method (recommended): Ensure that the aspira-
￭
tion tubing for the regeneration solution is immersed in the
solution and that there is enough solution. Check whether
the detector outlet capillary is connected to the Metrohm
Suppressor Module (MSM)'s inlet capillary for rinsing solu-
tion (labeled rinsing solution).
– Alternatively, if two bottles are being used for rinsing and
regeneration: Ensure that the aspiration tubings for the aux-
iliary solutions (regeneration solution and rinsing solution)
are immersed in the respective solutions and that there is
enough solution in both bottles. Check whether the detec-
tor outlet capillary is guided into the waste container or is
connected with the waste collector.
Switch on the instrument.
