Checklist
LC Series

Thank you for purchasing an Agilent instrument solution. This checklist is used by the installing
engineer to ensure that the instrument and associated systems are correctly installed, upgraded
and functioning as designed in your facility. This checklist will be completed at the end of the
service and provided to you as a record of the installation.

Customer Information
Customers should provide all necessary operating supplies upon request of the engineer.

Service Engineer’s Responsibilities
Only complete/printout sections or pages that relate to the system that has been installed.
Complete empty fields with the relevant information.
Complete the relevant checkboxes in the checklist using a “X” or tick mark “ ” in the checkbox.
Complete Not Applicable check boxes to indicate services not delivered, as needed
Complete the Service Review section together with the customer. In case of diagnostic tests,
record test results in section service review (test results).

General Preparation

 Unpack/verify the condition and completeness of shipment. For discrepancies, use the table

below.
Product/Part
Description

Observation

Action

 Discuss any specific questions or issues with the customer prior to starting.
 Discuss any configuration options with the customer prior to starting
 Check for required service note applicability and firmware updates if connecting to

instruments.
When plumbing the customers system, make sure that the relevant capillary kit and
instructions are used.
If you use the PC or the Instant Pilot for firmware updates, use the correct date/time.
Check that customer-supplied PC hardware meets minimum requirements e.g. Site
Preparation Tool />Upgrades only - Ensure with customer that instrument control settings, data, methods etc
have been properly saved or archived prior to starting any installation procedures.
The installation of ELSD drivers depends upon the customer's choice of software platform. If
OpenLAB version A.02.01 is installed then ELSD drivers' version 1.2 is installed as part of the
installation. An UPGRADE to 1.3 will be seen during the new install. If a THIRD PARTY
software package is used a minimum of ICF A.02.02 is required.

Agilent Information Center
 Install the Agilent Information Center to the PC controlling the system.
OR
If this is not permitted, install the Agilent Information Center to a different PC.
OR
If this is also not permitted, use the installation medium ( Agilent InfinityLab LC Series User
Documentation (G4800-64600)) to view the required user documentation.
 Record the location to which the Agilent Information Center has been installed.
OR
If the Agilent Information Center has not been installed, record that the installation medium
has been delivered, and keep it close to the instrumentation for future reference.

G7102A, G426X A/B Checkout
 Switch on the instrument
 Prepare the instrument:
 Set the detector nebulizer and evaporator temperature to 70 °C , and gas flow to 1.60 SLM
 Wait until instrument ready status is displayed on front panel or PC
 Record 10 min of baseline noise. This is gas only noise and should be typically ≤0.5 LSU or
≤0.5 mV for G426X A/B (ASTM baseline noise).
 Set up a method for the checkout sample as below:
 Flush the system with Eluent for 15 min AND
 Verify instrument ready status is still displayed on front panel or PC
In the instrument or system, set up a method using the following parameters:
• Pump: 1.00 mL/min of 100 % water.

NOTE

ã

Injection Volume: 20.0 àL.

NOTE
ã
ã

Depending on the flow rate setting, the system may overpressure and/or the PEEK fittings
may not hold if pressures exceed 350 bar. If this happens, bypass the restriction capillary
and guard column (usually for flow rates beyond 2.0 mL/min for UHPLC or 3.0 mL/min for
HPLC).

The following parameters work well for the recommended default injection volume of 20.0
µl. However, a scouting run is always recommended because run time varies across
systems.

Evaluation Std.: 200 µg/ml caffeine standard (part# 5190-0488)
Restriction capillary: S/S restriction capillary (Part# 5022-2159)
