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 />
