10-20-06 Page 28 of 64
NOTE: When making tubing connections, trim all tubes to reasonable lengths to ensure neatness
that is compatible with sufficient operational length. Do not leave excessive tubing lengths as it
makes the system look messy and confusing.
Install the platen extenders into each platen with the extender oriented with the slot down and sliding the
narrow end up into the slot provided on each end of the platen.
Attach the pump tubes to the VersaChem and position into the pump platens with the pump tube oriented
so that it’s connection to the VersaChem comes out of the left side of the pump. Snap each platen into
position on both ends and rotate the tension lever up to about the 12 o’clock position.
10-20-06 Page 29 of 64
Attach the pump power cord to an appropriate AC source.
Turn on pump with front panel rocker switch.

Start pump by pressing red Run/Stop button
Ensure pump speed is set to 50% for FIA or iSFA and 40% for SFA.
Ensure pump direction is set correctly with the roller drum rotating counterclockwise. If not, press the
left direction arrow key once.
For FIA, install the sample loop provided with the Chemistry Kit onto the valve between ports 1 and 4
and mount the sample aspiration pump tube (tube input connected from port 5 of the valve and tube
output going to waste) onto a pump platen
For SFA, install the sample aspiration pump tube as shown in the manifold diagram above.
The next step is to insert the interference filter into the detector.
10-20-06 Page 30 of 64
This is done by rotating the four captive screws holding the detector module counterclockwise
sufficiently to release them then pulling the detector module straight out towards you. The filter is
inserted with the mirrored side facing towards the front. Reinsert the detector module by pushing
straight in and firmly seating it into the rear mating connector. Reengaging the four captive screws is not
normally required, but may be if a firm electrical connection cannot be made otherwise.
Unpack the Startup Kit to provide you with access to various connectors and tubing required for
continued set up.
Connect the output of the manifold to the input of the flow cell for FIA or to the Debubbler Inlet for
SFA.

to-AU cable is connected.
6.0 Instrument Qualification
Open WinFLOW.
Click on Method Editor.
NOTE 1: The examples given below are for the chloride method. You may elect to qualify the
instrument with any of the methods purchased by the customer. It is suggested to select a relatively
simple method such as nitrite or chloride. If neither of these methods was purchased by the
customer, select another method to use for validation. Refer to the documentation provided for
method parameter values to be entered into the WinFLOW software and set up and save the
method.
NOTE 2: Be assured that these methods work as specified. If you experience problems, the
method, hardware or software is not set up properly.
NOTE 3: When you run each method, be sure to save the results file (*.rst) as you will need to
submit copies of these as part of your installation certification.

Sample Table
Next, click on Sample Table. The file named cl.tbl should display by default. If not, click File | Open
and double-click of cl.tbl. If the file doesn’t exist or won’t open for some reason, create it by clicking
File | New. Fill in the table as below then click File | Save As and enter cl.tbl for the file name.
NOTE: You must ensure that the Name for each calibration standard entered into the Sample
Table in rows 4 through 10 below is exactly the same as that entered into the Calibrants Table
above. An easy way to do this is to Copy the names from the Calibrants Table and Paste them into
the Sample Table. This is done by highlighting all Names in the Calibrants Table and clicking Edit
/ Copy. Next, open the Sample Table, highlight the first name cell into which you want to paste and
click Edit / Paste.
Collect Data
Click on Collect Data and enter “demo” as the User Name and “A00L0P000” as the ID into the dialog
box; e.g, as “A zero zero L zero P zero zero zero”. If the Method or Sample Table is not already open, in
the Run Setup dialog box, select the sample table (cl.tbl) and method (xxxxx.mth) where xxxxx = the
name of the method to be used for this validation and click OK.
WinFLOW will next request a name for the data table which you can enter as any new name. The Data
Collection screen will appear.
Go to the Pumps menu and select the appropriate pump to start. Also ensure that the pump power is
turned on and the roller drum is rotating in the counterclockwise direction.
NOTE: Once all air has cleared through the manifold, you will probably have to alternately
compress and release the flow cell waste line tube to purge air from the optical path.
Initiate baseline collection by clicking the Play button to start displaying

the baseline. The Cycle Start time set in the Timed Events Editor screen will
10-20-06 Page 51 of 64
determine the maximum length of time the system will remain in baseline
collection mode to allow the user to monitor the baseline and verify system
stability before starting the run. The status bar at the screen’s bottom left displays
“Baseline View” during this period.
A real-time signal begins displaying in the Peak Plot window. The Fast Forward, Stop and Zero icons
become active on the Data Collection icon ribbon on the left of the screen. The Peak Results Table,
Calibration Plot and Calibration Results Table windows become active once the run is started.
Obtain percent full-scale and detector gain values for the reference and sample by going to the Window
menu and selecting Serial Communication. This indicates if the lamp is functioning properly.
During the baseline monitoring period the signal produced by the pumping DI water displays and should
meet the criteria in the following table:
If the vertical noise value is excessive, a bubble is probably trapped in the flow cell. If the drift value is
excessive, micro-bubbles are likely accumulating in the flow cell. In either case, alternately compress and
release the elastic portion of the tubing leading from the flow cell outlet to waste until the signal
stabilizes. If the signal does not stabilize, you may have to degas the DI water or add a surfactant to the
DI water as described in the method.
Once the readings are stabilized, switch the color reagent pump line from D.I. water to the color reagent
bottle and pump reagent into the manifold and flow cell until all air has been cleared. Once again, you
may need to alternately compress and release the elastic portion of the flow cell outlet tubing to purge all
air bubbles from the flow cell to achieve a stable baseline.
Place the calibration standards into the standards rack according to the cup numbers as specified in the
Sample Table. The standards positions specified in the Sample Table map to the positions in the first
standards rack layout below if the 3090 Autosampler is configured and the second standards rack layout
below if the 3360 Autosampler is configured.

4.1.26 Click the Fast Forward button to start the analysis.
NOTE: For proper operation, it is critical that the sample completely fills the loop of the injection
valve and that the valve rotate to the Inject position before the trailing air bubble from the sampler
enters the sample loop. The injection valve starts in the Load position with the sample loop placed
in line with the sample stream. Carefully observe aspiration of the first standard to ensure that it
completely fills the loop of the valve before the valve rotates to the Inject position. If the timing is
off, either the times are entered incorrectly in the Timed Events Editor screen, the pump tube being
used is the incorrect inner diameter (color code) or the tubing connecting the sample probe to port
6 of the valve is the wrong length.
Make the necessary corrections until sample has successfully completely filled the loop prior to
injection and the valve has rotated to the Inject position before the trailing air bubble has entered
the sample loop.
The peak shapes for FIA should look similar to this:

10-20-06 Page 55 of 64
The peak shapes for SFA should look similar to this.
Once the calibration standards have been run, you should see a second order curve displayed like the one
below and the calculated correlation coefficient displayed in the Calibration Table should be at least 0.999
and the carryover should be less than 2%.
10-20-06 Page 56 of 64
FIA Chloride Calibration Curve
SFA Chloride Calibration Curve

10-20-06 Page 57 of 64
If the correlation coefficient is <0.999, remake the standards and rerun the calibration.
If the carryover is >2%, check to ensure that the method is set up physically and in software exactly as
directed in the method document, especially the sample loop size for FIA or sample aspiration pump tube
for SFA and the pump tube sizes (color codes) for the carrier and reagent lines and make any corrections.
If the carryover is still >2% micro-bubbles may be getting trapped in the flow cell. Alternately press and
release the elastic tubing of the flow cell waste line until a steady baseline is achieved then rerun the
calibration standards.
If the carryover is still >2%, remake the color reagent then rerun the calibration standards.
Once the system has been qualified as above for single channel operation, if there is a second or third
channel, qualify each one individually by repeating the above procedure for each AU. To do this, you
will attach the sample probe to the second or third valve for FIA or aspiration pump tube for SFA and
transfer the chloride fluidics from the previous AU to the current one under test.
Once each individual AU is qualified, for a two -channel FIA system, connect the valves according to the
following diagram:
NOTE: For proper operation, it is critical that the sample completely fills the loops of BOTH
injection valves and that both valves rotate to the Inject position before the trailing air bubble from
the sampler reaches port 6 of the first injection valve. The injection valve starts in the Load
position with the sample loop placed in line with the sample stream. Carefully observe aspiration of
the first standard to ensure that it completely fills the loop of the valve before the valve rotates to
the Inject position. If the timing is off, either the times are entered incorrectly in the Timed Events
Editor screen, the pump tube being used is the incorrect inner diameter (color code) or the tubing
between the sample probe and port 6 of the first valve is the wrong length.
Make the necessary corrections until sample completely fills the loop prior to injection and the
valve rotates to Inject before the trailing air bubble reaches port 6 of the first valve.
