Plug Settings (Preparative Sampler)

This section provides three configurable Plug Modes. Click the down arrow and select the appropriate mode from the drop-down list:

Plug Setting 1

The Sample plug is followed by an optional three-part Loop Solvent plug and Positioning Plug. The Loop Solvent plugs and Positioning Plug use the current solvent composition from the method. All volumes except the Sample injection volume and the solvent plug are fixed.

Specify the total volume of the solvent plug in the adjacent field; the volume you specify is divided by three for each of the parts.

Clear the check box to remove the Loop Solvent plug and Positioning Plug.

Plug Setting 2

The Sample plug is followed by an optional three-part Post-sample Plug and Positioning Plug. The Post-sample Plug and Positioning Plug use a different solvent from the Loop Solvent, which is the current solvent composition from the method. All volumes except the Sample injection volume and the Post-sample Plug are fixed.

Specify the total volume of the Post-sample Plug in the adjacent field; the volume you specify is divided equally between the parts. Click the down-arrow and specify the location of the solvent for the Post-sample Plug from the drop-down list; you can select from Location (see Specifying a Location), Current Container, Sample+, Location+, Container and Drawer. Add a comment in the Comment column, if necessary. The Comment is limited to 20 characters; however, the use of some special characters may reduce this limit.

Clear the check box to remove the Post-sample Plug and Positioning Plug.

Plug Setting 3

The Sample plug is preceded by an optional Pre-sample Sandwich Plug, and followed by an optional Post-sample Sandwich Plug. These are followed by an optional three-part Post-sample Plug and Positioning Plug. In Preparative operating mode, all of these plugs should use the same solvent, although each can be set independently if required. In Analytical operating mode, the Pre-sample and Post-sample Sandwich Plugs use the same kind of solvent, but different from the loop solvent. The Post-sample Plug and Positioning Plug use a different solvent from both the two Sandwich Plugs and the Loop Solvent (the current solvent composition from the method). All volumes except the Sample injection volume, Sandwich Plugs and Post-sample Plug are fixed.

Specify the volumes of the Pre-sample Sandwich Plug and Post-sample Sandwich Plug in the adjacent fields. Click the down-arrow and specify the location of the solvent for the Sandwich Plugs from the drop-down list; you can select from Location (see Specifying a Location), Current Container, Sample+ , Location+, Container and Drawer. Add a comment in the Comment column, if necessary. The Comment is limited to 20 characters; however, the use of some special characters may reduce this limit.

Specify the total volume of the Post-sample Plug in the adjacent field; the volume you specify is divided equally between the parts. Click the down-arrow and specify the location of the solvent for the Post-sample Plug from the drop-down list; you can select from Location (see Specifying a Location), Current Container, Sample+, Location+ , Container and Drawer. Add a comment in the Comment column, if necessary. The Comment is limited to 20 characters; however, the use of some special characters may reduce this limit.

Clear the check boxes to remove the Pre-sample Sandwich Plug and/or Post-sample Sandwich Plug and/or Post-sample Plug and Positioning Plug.
