Extractions with rinsing and without drying
Step 1: Enter the parameters of step 1 according to table.
Step 2: Enter lower heating level and rinsing time.
Step 3 - 9: Set parameters to 0. Store program.

At the end of the program the solvent containing the extract/analyte remains in the beaker. The step
2a is not activated (no concentration to dryness!).

The rinsing of the sample is skipped. The drying can be performed by decreasing the lower heating
level from step to step (3 - 9). The sample is dried slowly. This is recommended for volatile and/or
heat-sensitive analytes.
A mild drying is performed by using the inert gas option to prevent oxidation. It is activated by pressing
the INERT GAS key and remains activated until the step is finished. When the program is expired the
solvent is collected in the extraction chamber (automated solvent recovery) and the analyte/extract is
in the beaker.
