Recommendation:
for sample flow rates 1.2 mL/min; use 0.005-inch ID tubing for sample
flow rates >1.2 mL/min.
Requirements:
•
If you are replacing the tubing supplied with the instrument, you
must minimize the length of the tube connecting the diverter valve
to the ESI probe. Doing so minimizes delays and dispersion.
•
When cutting the tubing to length, cut it squarely (that is,
perpendicular to its horizontal axis).
Long "finger-tight" fitting and PEEK, "finger-tight" nut and ferrule:
