Air Gap Settings<br />

Automatic settings<br />

— Pre and post air gap<br />

— 4 µL each<br />

— 1 µL for PLUNO<br />

Manual settings<br />

— Lower values:<br />

0,4<br />

o Sample diffusion providing peak area and peak height reduction<br />

— Higher values:<br />

o Can effect the chromatogram<br />

• Higher peak height RSD<br />

• Loss of resolution<br />
