Replacing The Septum - Micromeritics FlowSorb III 2305 Operator's Manual

Replacing the Septum

Replacing the Septum
The septum is installed at the Inject port and is held into place by a knurled nut.
A septum usually requires replacing after approximately 100 injections when us-
ing the 1-mL syringe and approximately 20 injections when using the 10-mL syr-
inge. Refer to Chapter 5 for ordering information.
Replace the septum as follows:
1. Turn the knurled nut counterclockwise and remove it from the injection port.
2. Tap the nut into the palm of your hand to remove the septum; discard the
used septum.
3. Place a new septum into the knurled nut. If the washer came out when you
removed the used septum, be sure to place it into the knurled nut first.
4. Place the knurled nut back onto the injection port; turn the nut clockwise to
finger-tighten.
