Column/Detector Selection
The Column/Detector drop-down list box allows you to select the column/detector
combination for reviewing and editing the assay. Your method may use one, two or
all three columns to complete an analysis. If your method consists of runs on two or
three columns, you must configure one column at a time. Configure all of the
columns required for your application before you send the assay to
Explorer.
The library for the selected column will be displayed in the Library block and the
method specific to the column/detector combination will be displayed in the method
block.
To select a column/detector combination:
1. Select the Assay tab.
Ensure your assay is loaded.
2. Click on the arrow of the Column/Detector drop-down list box.
3. Select the desired column/detector combination.
Method
The standard method is listed in the Method Box. The injection method, the
injection volume, the oven temperature, pressure and the analysis time are listed in
the method box. These are all set when you open an assay.
NOTE: Do not change any of the chromatographic settings, as the reference library will be
lost.
Open the Config box to change the method settings. Refer to the Method
Development section for details of method development, or assay specific details are
provided in the assay notes.
