connected to bottle#2 with the full rinse solution. Ensure that each fitting is
tight.
Rinse Solution Out – Connect the gas displacement pump to the rinse station
by completing the following steps:

a) Take the free end of the PFA tubing (0.5 mm I.D.) protruding through
b) Take the free end of the PFA tubing (0.5 mm I.D.) protruding through
Drain- Place the free end of the 3/16 inch (5 mm) I.D. Tygon® tubing
protruding from the rinse station outlet (top of rinse station) into an
5
appropriate waste container.
Ensure that the waste container is at least 30 to 60 centimeters lower than the
rinse station outlet.
Ensure that the drain tubing is placed in the waste container so the tubing will
not be immersed into the waste solution. Immersion of the drain tubing into
the waste solution may cause the solution to back up into the rinse station and
overflow.
SUBMERGED DRAIN TUBING MAY CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
CAUTION
Ensure that the rinse drain tubing is not submerged in the waste liquid. If the
tubing is submerged, waste liquid can back up in the rinse station, flooding the
sample tray and potentially damaging the electronics.
Argon Gas Supply – Connect the argon gas supply to the "ARGON SUPPLY" inlet
on the gas displacement pump panel. The argon gas supply can be from a
6
dedicated argon source or from the ICP-MS argon supply. The recommended
argon inlet pressure is 50 psi (350 kPa or 3.44 bar). If the Aridus II or Aridus3
nebulizer system is being used, the argon can be teed from the Aridus sweep
gas supply. See Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-9 for such an argon gas connection.
