Cup Empty Time The Cup Empty Time option determines the amount of time allotted for
evacuation of sample from the sample cup prior to the beginning of the
wash sequence. Select a value from 1 to 255 seconds for this option. The
evacuation time should be adjusted so the highest expected viscosity oil is
evacuated from the cup before the solvent is introduced into the solvent
chamber. Improper adjustment may result in solvent overflow if/when
solvent is evacuated into a waste line that still contains sample residue.
CAUTION Be careful to consider bath temperature(s) and potential solvent hazards
when selecting solvents for use with the miniPV Series instrument.
CAUTION Make certain to replace the sample vial with an empty vial prior to raising
the vial holder. Otherwise, solvent may overflow.
NOTE When you have completed the configuration and saved the current wash
settings, you may wish to permanently store the current instrument
settings using the Save Instrument and Tray Settings.
