The instrument is supplied in protective packaging together with the sepa-
rately packed accessories. Keep this packaging, as only this ensures safe
transportation of the instrument.
Immediately after receipt, check whether the shipment has arrived com-
plete and without damage by comparing it with the delivery note.
The instrument has been developed for operation indoors and may not be
used in explosive environments.
Place the instrument in a location of the laboratory which is suitable for
operation and free of vibrations and which provides protection against
corrosive atmosphere and contamination by chemicals.
The instrument should be protected against excessive temperature fluctua-
tions and direct sunlight.
Generally speaking, capillary connections between two components of an
IC system are made up of one connection capillary and two pressure
screws used to connect the capillary to the respective components.
Pressure screws
Three types of pressure screws are used in the IC system:
Pressure screws are tightened and loosened by hand. A tool is not
needed.

Connection capillaries
PEEK capillaries and PTFE capillaries are used in the IC system.
PEEK capillaries are pressure-stable up to 400 bar (depending on the inner
diameter), flexible, chemically inert and have an extremely smooth surface.
They can be readily cut down to the desired length with the capillary cut-
ter (6.2621.080).
