B) Separation with simultaneous dialysis of the next sample
The following time program descriptions are based on chromatogram
times of 20 minutes. Approx. 10 minutes before end of each separation
the dialysis of the next sample is started. For this purpose, the 788
program in the system dialysis.smt contains a waiting time of 540 s in
line 006 (see below). These values have to be adapted, if necessary.
A main time program for the 788 IC Filtration Sample Processor is
needed, which controls the both the injection of a dialyzed sample as
well as the dialysis of the following sample: ('dialysis.smt').
The processing of the first and last sample of a queue requires time
programs in additional system files. The 788 program in the system file
'start-dialysis.smt' just starts the dialysis of the first sample. 'end-
dialysis.smt' is used to inject the acceptor solution of the last sample.
