To assemble the Infusion Sample Delivery System
This task describes how to assemble and install an infusion sample delivery
system. The assembly is used to introduce tuning mix for LC/MS calibration.
Use extreme caution when setting up experiments with any type of needle,
WA R N I N G
especially conductive ones. Touching a high voltage region inside the Nanospray Ion
Source chamber with a conductive needle is extremely hazardous.
