I run several different HPLCs at work and we primarily process using the Agilent Chemstation software. I just set up a Dionex ICS-3000 and we use Chameleon 6.8 for this. We recently acquired some Metrohm compact ICs and I have been giving a deadline (2 days!) of figuring out how to process using IC Net 2.3.

Is there anyone on here that can help me? I don't think there is a way for me to figure this out in 2 days

what the fuck? you might as well as just grunted or stuffed shit in your mouth

A user manual?

I printed out the manual (400+ pages). I have some specific issues that I cannot seem to find the answer to......The representative for my area feels that I should pay $texas and go to FL for training in a few weeks, but we need the instrument operational. ASAP. (It looks like I am taking it to Wyoming in 2 weeks.)

I was willing to pay an individual an hourly rate to tutor me.

On the plus side, I found an online forum that a Metrohm representative frequents. I am hoping that I might be able to get him to actually answer some questions.

i used a couple of HPLCs about 5 years ago for 3 months. i have no clue what to tell you though. sorry that's no help at all.

liquid chromatography folks. and yes, I had to google that shit

Yeah, maybe tech talk would have been slightly more appropriate.

I have run several for the last 4 years, but all of ours are Chemstation for HPLC or Analyst for LC-MS/MS. I'm not familiar with those, but how different can they be?

I'd take a look at the sperving bearings, that's where the biggest difference in terms of the performance.

Sounds like your rep doesn't want to adequately support you on this.

^Our rep quit and the vice president of sales is our rep in the interim. He NEVER answers his #)*(%&)%( e-mails....

I did post it here because I thought I would reach more chemists here that might use the program. It is a very different beast than both Chemstation and Chameleon

I did HPLC a bit at my NIEHS internship years ago...but I don't have any clue what you talking about.

Odds are, the most experience anyone has here is injecting a few samples, staring at conductivity, and scribbling down a few notes during one of their labs at centennial.
