• Ensure that no open containers or spills of organic
solvent are in close proximity to the Torrent.
• Ensure that the Torrent is located in a well-ventilated
area.
• Ensure that there is no visible solvent leakage from the
Torrent.
If PeakTrak continues to display the Vapor Limit alarm after
you have made these checks and corrected any problems
found, it is likely that organic vapors are present in the ambi-
ent environment of your laboratory. In this case, increase the
setting of the Vapor Limit. Settings greater than 12 are appro-
priate for laboratory environments with a somewhat elevated
background solvent vapor concentration, representing a safe
setting, but one with a reduced margin for error.
Set Default Tube Volumes – Click this button to open a
window from which you can set the default volume of the
collection tubes. You can increase or decrease these values to
set the desired default volume collected in each container. Be
sure you do not overflow the containers by exceeding their
capacity.
The system will automatically advance to the next tube (or
container when using the Fractionation Valve) when this
default volume is met in each tube. Keep in mind that
advanced method settings (discussed in Section 3 and the
on-line help) may override this default setting. During a run,
other factors such as automatic tube advances for detected
peaks will affect collected volume.
