Analytical problems<br />

Syringe Valve<br />

In cases of analytical problems the best thing to start with is to determine,<br />

if the cause for the problem is in the autosampler, or in the rest of the<br />

system.<br />

Quick check!<br />

Replace the valve by a manual injection valve to discriminate between<br />

valve problems and other problems.<br />

Perform some manual Full loop injections. If the results are fine the fault<br />

has to be found in the autosampler, if not the HPLC system should be<br />

checked.<br />

In the diagrams on the next pages (Fig. 49 and Fig. 50) it is assumed that<br />

the unit is working without Errors.<br />

Please keep in mind that analytical also might be caused by external<br />

influences, like temperature and or light sensitive samples. For this<br />

reason it is important to be sure the application was running without<br />

problems before and nothing is changed.
