Nebulizer

Check that the nebulizer is not clogged and that the sample capillary tubing is clean
and in good condition. Flush the nebulizer daily with deionized water.

Peristaltic Pump and Drain

Inspect the pump tubing before operating and after every few hours of use. Replace
the tubing when flat spots develop (approximately every eight hours of use). Refer
to the section on the peristaltic pump for the appropriate tubing for different
solvents.
When the pump is not in use, release the pressure plate and release the tubing to
prevent flat spots from forming. If you are planning to leave the pressure plate
clamped overnight, we recommended that you use the TubingSaver feature.
To enable to TubeSaver feature start up the ICP software. Go to the Instrument
tab -> Devices -> Pump from the dropdown menu. In the Pump screen select a
checkmark in the Enable TubingSaver box.
Always remove the sample capillary or the autosampler probe from the solution it
is in when you are finished using the pump. Otherwise, the solution will siphon into
the spray chamber and flood it.
