Apply sample from a system inlet

Introduction
Samples may be applied from a system inlet using the system pump A. Up to three Inlet
valve A modules are supported, giving up to nine inlets, labeled A1 to A9. Inlet A1 is
normally used for buffer: other inlets may be used for sample or different buffers as re-
quired.
Note:
There are up to three stages in sample application from a sample inlet.

Sample application from B inlets is not recommended.
Description
Prime the inlet tubing with sample. This will fill the inlet tubing up to the inlet
valve with sample, giving more precise control over the amount of sample
applied to the column.
The inlet tubing may be primed automatically (see
properties, on page 63) or manually (see
on page 66).
Apply the sample according to the phase properties in the Sample Applica-
tion phase.
Finalize the sample application (if selected in the Sample Application phase).
This will chase the sample remaining in the flow path on to the column, using
the buffer inlet as specified in Method Settings.
