5. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
5.1 Checking the Performance and Specifications
5.1.1 Preparation of Items
Performance checking method is explained here.
The following items are required for performance check.
(1)
Component Units of Liquid Chromatography System
Pump (ChromasterUltra Rs 6170 Binary Pump)
Detector (ChromasterUltra Rs 6430 Diode Array Detector)
Oven (ChromasterUltra Rs 6310 Column Oven)
Data processing software
Waste solution bottle
NOTE:
Use the degassing unit for deaerating a mobile phase and
a wash fluid constantly.
If the mobile phase and the wash fluid are not deaerated
sufficiently, the full performance of this instrument may
not be attained.
NOTE:
Set the wash fluid bottle at a position higher than the
autosampler. If it is placed at a position lower than the
autosampler, a negative pressure may be produced in the
piping to form air bubbles in the syringe, disabling
achievement of the full performance of the autosampler.
(2)
Items for Performance Check
Load resistance coil
A coiled stainless pipe having an inner diameter of 0.25 mm
and a length of 20 m.
Distilled water in about 1000 mL
100 ppm of Caffeine aqueous solution
(Caffeine 10 mg/Water 100 mL)
