: Starts the complete analytical sequence, first calibrating the system, then analyzing all samples. Clicking again during analysis opens the Stopping an Analytical Sequence dialog where you can select when to stop. If you stop before completion, clicking Analyze All again opens the Continuing an Analytical Sequence dialog, letting you resume from a specific point.
Here are some tips and best practices for using the Syngistix for AA software:
Before diving into the manual, let’s set the stage. Syngistix is PerkinElmer’s flagship software for AA and ICP instruments. Unlike older, text-heavy interfaces, Syngistix uses a unique approach. It doesn’t just control the instrument; it manages the entire workflow—from method development and sample run sequences to data processing and report generation.
If running Furnace AA, ensure the cooling water and argon gas supplies are turned on. Click to run your blank and standards.
Used to select the current running technique, specifically shifting between: For high-concentration samples. Furnace AA (GFAA): For trace-level analysis.
Once the method is saved, you must tell the software what samples to analyze. Open the window. Select File > New Sample Info File .
Need to run a calibration curve? Syngistix can automatically calculate the volumes needed for standard dilutions, mixing them on the fly. It creates "pseudo-standards" from a single stock solution, saving you hours of manual glassware preparation. If you are running Flame AA, it knows exactly when to aspirate a blank to correct for baseline drift, ensuring your data remains true even over a long overnight run.
If running Flame AA, press the safety interlock buttons and click . Allow the burner head to warm up for 10–15 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.
Building an analytical method involves configuring specific spectrometer, calibration, and quality control metrics. Step 1: Create a New Method File Navigate to the tab. Click New under the Method sub-window.
