Figure 5–2. Removing the FID Cartridge
To clean an FID cartridge, you will need a cotton swab and some isopropyl
alcohol. Dip the swab into the isopropyl alcohol and insert it into the
center of the cartridge. Swab the surface until clean and discard the swab.
Take care not to touch the igniter coil, which is located close to the end of
the capsule opposite the threaded hole used to remove capsule. Then dry
the cartridge in an oven at 45 °C to 55 °C for one hour. When dry, re-
insert the cartridge into the instrument, reversing the removal procedure.
Do not overtighten cap.
CAUTION Do not allow any contact with the igniter coil during
cleaning. ▲
