Installing Capillaries

Carefully slide the ferrule components on after the nut
and then finger-tighten the assembly while ensuring that
the tubing is completely seated in the bottom of the end
fitting.

Loosen the nut and verify that the ferrule is correctly
positioned on the tubing or capillary.
The first time that the swagelock fitting is used on a column or an injection valve, the
N O T E
position of the ferrule is permanently set. If changing from a column or an injection valve
to another, the fitting may leak or decrease the quality of the separation by contributing to
band broadening.

Use a column or injection valve to gently tighten the
fitting which forces the ferrule to seat onto the tubing or
capillary.
N O T E
Don't overtighten. Overtightening will shorten the
lifetime of the fitting.
