Preparations
Flush the detector with the detector gas flow being turned on. For recommendations on flushing the detector, see Flushing the Detector Between Analyses.
Turn off the pump flow and then the gas flow:
- Turn off the pump flow to the detector. Wait at least 5 minutes. During the waiting period, the detector drains any remaining mobile phase to waste.
- Turn off the gas flow on the detector.
- Wait until the system pressure is down to zero before you continue.
- Turn off the gas supply to the detector.
Turn off the detector with the main power switch.
Follow these steps
On the waste outlet on the front of the detector, disconnect the waste line.
Proceed as required:
