3 Checking leak-tightness

￭
Check all capillaries and their connections from the high pressure
￭
pump to the detector for signs of liquid escaping.
If eluent escapes anywhere, tighten the corresponding pressure
screw or loosen the connection, check the end of the capillary,
shorten it with a capillary cutter if necessary, and restore the con-
nection.
4 Conditioning the system
Rinse the system with eluent until the required stability of the base-
line is attained (normally 30 minutes).
During this time, step the MSM to the next position every 10
minutes.
The instrument is now ready for measuring samples.
