Introduction to the Agilent 7100 Capillary Electrophoresis System

Using the Agilent 7100 Capillary Electrophoresis System 5
Capillary Electrophoresis, CE
Autobalance
Enables you to zero the baseline of the diode-array detector before or after an
analysis. You can use the autobalance feature to ensure that the baseline is
reset to zero either before the Prerun time has elapsed, or after the Postrun
time has elapsed.
Lamps On Required for Acquisition
Deselect the parameter Lamp on required for analysis if you also have a different
detector configured than the built-in DAD. Such a detector could be an MSD
(mass sensitive detector), LIF (laser induced fluorescence) or a CCD
(contactless conductivity detector). This option allows you to save lamp life
time.
Detector Timetable
Using the Timetable for the detector, you can program the time for the following
parameters during your analysis:
• Measuring wavelength for signals A to H,
• Measuring bandwidth for signals A to H,
• Reference wavelength for signals A to H,
• Reference bandwidth for signals A to H,
• Spectra acquisition mode,
• Peak width
• Threshold.
By programming the time for these parameters you can optimize the required
disk space for your spectra by switching the spectra acquisition on and off.
Thus, you can acquire spectra for parts of the electropherogram only.
