Connecting Fittings, Capillaries, and Tubing

General Guidelines
5.6.2.1
Charged Aerosol Detectors Corona Veo (RS) Operating Manual
This section provides information about how to connect and handle
capillaries, fittings, and tubing.
When connecting capillaries and tubing, follow these general
recommendations:
•
Use only the capillaries and tubing (for example, solvent lines or
waste tubing) that are shipped with the detector or additional or
spare capillaries and tubing as recommended by Thermo Fisher
Scientific.
•
The connectors must be free from contaminants. Even minute
particles may cause damage to the system or lead to invalid test
results.
•
Do not install capillaries or tubes that are stressed, nicked, kinked, or
otherwise damaged.
•
Install capillaries and fittings only at the positions for which they are
intended.
TIP This is especially important in an UltiMate 3000 system, because
different fitting systems are used in the system.
