with DI water for 20 minutes. The latter is recommended for new systems being qualified for the
first time. ICS-1000, 1500 and 2000 systems ship with pre-rinsed tubing, it is not necessary to
carry out this step with these systems.
32. CONDUCTIVITY OR ABSORBANCE: Pipette the standards from the standards kit ampoules directly
into autosampler vials and place them in the position / order according to the table below. For
the Injector Precision and Carry Over standards (AS40 Autosampler only) transfer the Injector
Precision standards prepared in Section 2.3 into six autosampler vials and the Carry Over
standard (Absorbance detectors only) into one autosampler vial. To qualify an IC system
without an autosampler, use the AS40 table for the injection order and inject the samples
directly from the standards kit ampoules.
33. ICS-3000 INTEGRATED AMPEROMETRY: Cut the label off the vials (included in the ICS-3000 ED
qualification kit) and place the vial directly into autosampler in the position order according to
the table below. Note that even though the main portion of the label has been cut off, the
concentration marker is still adhered to the label.
34. For systems using an EG40, EG50, ICS-2000, ICS-3000 EG:
a. Disconnect the Eluent Generator Cartridge cable from the Eluent Generator EGC
connector.
b. If installed, disconnect the CR-TC cable from the CR-TC connector.
c.
Plug the EG/AES/SRS Supply Input cable (4-pin connector) on the IC Validation/Test Box
into the Eluent Generator EGC connector. EG40 users will need to use an EG40 Adaptor
Cable (P/N 057899).
Note: This test requires the IC Validation/Test Box. EG Validation Test Cells are no
longer supported for OQ/PQ qualifications.
d. Turn on the ammeter or multimeter and set the display to mA. This test requires mA
readings from 0.00 to 220 mA.
e. Connect the positive lead of the ammeter to the “EG Internal Load” red post connector on
the IC Validation/Test Box.
f.
Connect the negative lead of the ammeter to the “COM” black post connector on the IC
Validation/Test Box.
g. For an ICS-3000 with two EGCs configured on one timebase, a EGC sensing plug
(Dionex part number 063788)or a second Validation test box with Ammeter (see steps c
through f) should be plugged into EGC_2. Failure to make a connection to EGC_2 this
will result in “Over Voltage” errors when running the test. The program
XQ_EG_DUAL_CURRENT or XQ_ED_EG_DUAL_CURRENT will prompt to switch the
EGC_1 and EGC_2 during the run.
h. From the Browser in the Dionex Chromatography Management System, go to the Panel
directory and select the pump_EluGen_detector panel appropriate for the system being
qualified. Go to Control and select the timebase configured with the Eluent Generator to
be qualified (for Chromeleon 6.7, click on the “Default Panel Tab set”.
i.
From the Eluent Generator section of the panel, select the cartridge type to be used. The
panel will recognize previously configured KOH and MSA cartridges even though the IC
Validation/Test Box is plugged into the cartridge connector.
35. FLUKE 189 MULTIMETER: Install the Fluke 189 multimeter into the timebase to be qualified.
The driver for the Fluke 189 multimeter is included with Chromeleon 6.8 or later. Connect the
Fluke 189 multimeter to the IC Validation/Test Box as described in step 33 of this section. The
