Dear Isotopers,

We're turning on our high temperature GC pyrolysis furnace for the  
first time. I can't seem to find clear/straightforward instructions in  
either manual that I have access to at the moment. [Is the Pope  
Catholic?]

Can someone recommend the timing and rate and temperatures for this  
reactor furnace?

Also, one manual mentions preconditioning, meaning injecting a  
microliter of solvent in the column before actually analyzing samples.  
Does anyone know what this actually does? And, do any of you have a  
procedure in place for this?

Thanks for your help. We're proceeding and will keep you informed  
regardless.
