Thermo Scientific TriPlus Sampler: Creating a Program for Liquid Injections

Follow the steps below to create a program for liquid injections:

 

Example Program

The following is an example PGM for performing GC liquid injections. It is designed as a template and includes all parameters available for the TriPlus As sampler type. You may copy this program and edit parameters according to your specific analysis tasks.

; =======================================================================

; Specify the injection mode

; =======================================================================

 

InjectMode

=

InternalStandardPost

; =======================================================================

; Specify enrichment parameters (only required if InjectMode is 'Enrichment' or

;' EnrichmentNeedleSolvent').

; Set LoadsPerInject = 1 for all injection modes except 'Enrichment' and

; 'EnrichmentNeedleSolvent'

; If LoadsPerInject =1, you do not need to specify LoadRepititionTime
