mended to save the modified methods separately under specific
method names.
Only similar samples which require the same amount of auxiliary solu-
tions can be processed in one sample series.
Samples
The method parameter 'Number of samples' has to correspond exactly
to the real number of samples. Place a vessel with rinsing solution at
the end of the series on the rack.
6.2041.450 sample rack
Samples and auxiliary solutions are placed on the rack. It is recom-
mended to use the two inner rings with 11 ml sample vessels. How fre-
quently the calibration curve needs to be recorded (with Calibration
technique "DT Record calibration curve") depends on the chemistry of
the bath.
Note: Place a vessel with water at the end of the series on the rack.
Arrangement: At the first position a Suppressor standard solution to re-
cord the calibration curve. Then samples, and, when a recalibration is
necessary, another Suppressor standard solution. At the end of the se-
ries place a vessel with water.
Example for a sample rack with 14 samples, 2 Suppressor standard so-
lutions and one rinsing solution:

Before each start, define the position of the first sample vessel. Press
the <SAMPLE> key of the 838 keypad and enter the rack position.
