Cary Eclipse Detection Limit

Hi everyone

We are in a teaching lab. We routinely carry out the ASTM detection limit test built into the Cary Eclipse software to demonstrate its use to students. 

For some reason we always get far lower limits than those expected using the test. When we looked into further we noticed that the settings for the test doesn't match the ASTM method particularly in terms of averaging time. We wanted to match the ASTM method settings so that students can compare results to the literature but can't change the settings. The software help states that to do this you have to log into the GLP administration module but it seems like the administration module doesn't work on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Any suggestions

Thanks

  • Hi Kevin,

    The software help is correct- you need to enable and login to GLP Administration to change the DL in the ASTM method. GLP Administration is not automatically installed when installing Cary WinFLR. Please insert your Cary WinFLR disc, and when going through the set up, there is a pop up where you can select which applications you would like installed. Select GLP Administration checkbox (it is not checked by default)

    Next, open the GLP Administration app (the default password can be found in the help). Uncheck the "Bypass GLP checks" box in the bottom left. Then go to the "Applications" tab, click add, and type Validate. Exit the GLP Administration app

    Now open the Validate application. If done correctly, you will be prompted to login with you GLP credentials (use the Admin default). Once you login, you will be able to edit the ASTM detection limit test parameters

    Hope that helps. I took screen shots but am unable to upload. Let me know if you have any questions and have a great day
