Prohibited:
reservoir bottles directly atop an instrument or device or on its front ledge. Instead,
place the bottles in the bottle tray, which serves as secondary containment in the event
of spills.

2.7.1 Installing the reservoir bottles

Use standard reservoir bottles (30-mL) for instrument setup and calibration. Use the Low-volume
Adaptor Kit (included) to infuse smaller volumes. The low-volume vials have a volume of 1.5 mL.
Required materials
Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
To install the reservoir bottles:
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biohazards, toxic materials, and corrosive
materials, wear chemical-resistant gloves when performing this procedure.
1. Remove the reservoir bottle caps.
2. Screw the reservoir bottles onto the mass spectrometer, as shown below.

3. For each reservoir bottle, ensure that the ends of the solvent delivery tubes are positioned
so that they are close to, but do not touch, the bottom of the bottle (see
