Bubble and Pressure Monitoring: Auxiliary Supply and Pressure Conditions
Provide bubble and pressure signals in compatible introduction or supply branches. The controller associates source and measurement window. Evaluate actual flow, composition and analytical response separately.
ABD provides bubble or liquid-state signals for defined tubing; PDM5 provides pressure information at a defined location. Configure module, position and action window separately; the controller associates affected samples or tasks.
Match sensing locations to specific fluidic problems
Bubble modules report bubble or liquid state in defined tube segments; pressure modules report pressure at defined positions. Before selecting mounting points, define the phase and abnormality to observe: aspiration, delivery, source depletion or branch-load changes. Associate sensor positions with affected samples, cuvettes or stations.
Connect signals, action windows and recovery conditions
The same signal may mean different things at different valve positions or operating phases. Record normal ranges and faults with actual liquids, tubing and sequences. The controller combines action timing, confirmed delivery status, volume records and sample identity to pause, review or recover; one pressure change cannot directly identify a blockage location or specific cause. Distinguish measured, estimated and unknown volumes; completion of a command does not prove actual liquid delivery.
Translate actual branch conditions into configuration requirements
| Condition | To confirm |
|---|---|
| Installation conditions | Specify tubing dimensions, liquid, sensing location and branch to observe. |
| Timing and baseline | Record valve positions, pump actions, normal changes and fault-detection windows. |
| Abnormality handling | Associate affected containers with confirmed delivery status and volume records; define conditions for review, continuation or re-execution. Distinguish measured, estimated and unknown volumes; completion of a command does not prove actual liquid delivery. |
| Operation | Specific operating conditions |
|---|---|
| Discrete liquid-sample transfer and introduction conditions | Actual sample volume, remaining source volume, probe-tip height, aspiration/dispensing speed and system liquid |

Discrete liquid-sample transfer and introduction conditions
Delivery to a dilution vessel primarily requires volume control; delivery to an introduction interface also requires system-specific continuous flow, pulsation and pressure checks. Evaluate materials and sample-change recovery using the actual matrix.
Confirm product roles in actual operation
| Operation | Measurements and observations | Priority checks |
|---|---|---|
| Discrete liquid-sample transfer and introduction conditions | Measure actual delivery at the receiver, covering routine small volumes and maximum task volume, first dose after idle, sample changes and high/low concentration sequences | Air aspiration, clots/particles, probe contact with a wall or leakage alter actual delivery |
Check concentration ratios, mixing, blank recovery and method results. Evaluate preparation and sample supply separately.
Can dispensing be repeated immediately after bubbles or abnormal pressure are detected?
First establish whether partial delivery has occurred and which container is affected. Immediate repetition may double-dose it. Act on the actual state and recheck the first cycle after recovery.
A sample-preparation pump is not automatically suitable for nebulizer supply. Confirm the introduction system for the specific instrument.
