Water is drawn into the side port inlet and down the length of the outer sleeve where it exits near the top of
the cell. The water then flows down the walls of the access tube and cell toward the needle opening located
near the bottom of the cell. Flow continues upward to the outlet at the top of the tool and out to the vacuum
flask.
The figure below shows the flow of water through the apparatus.
Note that the cleaning tool for the Nano ITC Low Volume instrument is shorter. Use only the correct tool
for each instrument type to ensure proper operation.
