Shimadzu LC-10A HPLC System: Program Examples for the Advanced Injection Mode

The following program is an example for mixing a sample with a reagent liquid using a Shimadzu SIL-10ADvp autosampler in Advanced injection mode. For a detailed list of the available Advanced pretreatment commands, refer to Shimadzu LC-10A/LC-20A HPLC System: Advanced Injection Mode.

Vials used:

Operation:

  1. Transfuse 200 µl of the sample liquid and 200 µl of the reagent liquid in the sample vial.

  2. Mix them three times.

  3. After waiting for one minute, inject the sample according to standard injection procedure.

The commands on the left show the command syntax used in the Chromeleon PGM. On the right, the commands are translated into the corresponding Shimadzu syntax that is displayed on the system controller.

caution Important:

Chromeleon does not perform any checks to ensure that the pretreatment program is correct. Therefore, it is in the responsibility of the user to make sure that the PGM is reasonable and correct, and that the pretreatment command sequence is consistent.

Care must also be taken when using pretreatment programs for different autosampler types. Split-loop (e.g., SIL-10A) and pulled-loop autosamplers (e.g., SIL-10AXL or SIL-10ADvp) use different injection procedures and may thus need programs with different command sequences. Therefore, it is recommended to write a separate program for each sampler type.
