Figure 24. Inserting DLW Syringe into holder
CAUTION Make sure to hold the syringe on the metal mount to tighten the syringe.
Holding the glass barrel while tightening can damage the seal where the glass meets the
metal.
Note Do not mount the syringe needle at this stage.
Connecting the DLW Tubing to the Syringe Holder
Note Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends connecting the DLW tubing from the kit to
the syringe holder while the assembly is not inserted in the x axis.
Note The wetted parts of the DLW Actuator/Solenoid are PEEK for the body and FFKM
(Simriz) for the seal material.
PEEK tubing exhibits excellent chemical resistance to most of the chemicals used.
However, the following solvents are not recommended for use with PEEK: DMSO, THF,
methylene chloride (dichloromethane), nitric acid, or sulfuric acid. For more details, refer
to the compatibility tables provided by the manufacturer of PEEK material or
components.
