Perform a Krypton Analysis

  In 21CFR11 environments, users are required to login to the Confirm application to start an analysis. Once the analysis window is opened, manual control is disabled until the analysis has completed. During analysis, pausing and resuming is allowed, however, steps cannot be skipped.
  Krypton analyses are available only if the krypton option is installed.
  Data collection is done sequentially — one analysis starts and completes before the next analysis begins.

Use to perform up to five simultaneous krypton analyses.

Krypton Analysis Guidelines
  • All ports must be idle in order to start an analysis.
  • All analyses must use krypton gas.
  • From one to five analyses can be started simultaneously. The last port is used to store krypton for dosing (Port 2, 4, or 6 depending on system configuration).
  • An empty sample tube must be installed in the last port (2, 4, or 6 depending on system configuration).
  • The sample file must specify From last sample port as the Dosing Method in the Adsorptive Properties.
  • Samples cannot be removed from or added to ports until the full set of analyses has completed.

  The dewar below the port used to store and purify krypton must be at least 50% full of the analysis bath liquid and an empty sample tube must be installed on the port before starting a krypton analysis.
  1. Install an empty sample tube on the port to be used to store krypton (the last port: 2, 4, or 6) and place a dewar cover over the sample tube stem and the P0 tube stem.
  2. Go to Unit > Start Krypton Analysis. For each port to be used, either click Browse and select a sample file or click New to create a new sample file.
  3. Verify the information populated into the sample identification. This information is pulled from the sample file. The Density value is applicable only if using the Calculate method for the free space determination.
  4. Edit the P0 and Bath temperature fields, if necessary.
  5. Click Report after analysis to generate reports automatically when the analysis is complete. On the Report Settings window, select the report destination. Click OK to return to the previous window.
  6. Click Start to start the analysis. A window displays data as they are collected. A short delay is encountered before the port status at the bottom of the window changes from the Idle state.

  Use the Skip function with caution; the ASAP 2460 performs multiple steps for a given task. Skipping certain steps may cause corruption of data, instrument damage, or personal injury.
  1. To view an analysis report, click the appropriate Report Port button.
  1. When the analysis is complete, the Next button is displayed. Click Close to exit or Next to perform another analysis.
