Before First Use - Agilent Technologies 5100 ICP-OES User Manual

Agilent 5100/5110 and 5800/5900 ICP-OES Easy-fit Fully Demountable Torch User Guide
A range of injector types with different internal diameters are available, including an inert alumina injector
recommended for use with hydrofluoric (HF) acid digests. This enables the torch to be configured for
different applications. Additional or replacement components can be ordered separately.

Before first use

The torch is shipped without the injector installed. Before installing the torch in your instrument, follow the
steps below to install the injector.
Initial injector setup
1
Unscrew the locking nut on the torch base to draw the shipping plug out of the torch base. Push the
shipping plug out of the locking nut.
2
Fully insert the injector through the torch body until the bulge contacts the retaining clamp and "clicks"
into position.
3
Replace the locking nut and tighten to secure the injector. Hand tighten only.
CAUTION
Overtightening can damage the injector and torch body.
