When ambient conditions fall outside recommended specifications, Explorer
should be in a controlled environment, i.e. in a vehicle with the heating or air
conditioning running or indoors. Bring the sample to
Explorer in gas bags, glass
vessels or syringes.
Refer to the user notes supplied with your assay for a complete list of compounds
that can be separated and identified. Compounds can be separated on one or more of
the three columns. The information in the user notes will help you determine which
columns you must use to obtain the best separation and provide specific details on
calibration for your application.
The following procedures for calibration describe the calibration using the
instrument alone. To facilitate calibration use SiteChart. If you cannot carry a PC
into the field, perform a calibration before beginning field work and check the
calibration once you reach your site.
The assay that is supplied with your instrument will allow you to perform a set of
analyses that will separate and identify some or of all the library compounds. If you
do not need to detect all the compounds contained in the library, you can edit the
library. Refer to the user notes supplied with your assay for complete details.
NOTE: You must make changes to the assay in the SiteChart software. If you create your
custom assay on the instrument you cannot send it to the PC to be saved.
