11 Re-install the flow cell and connect the capillaries to the
union holder.
The cell body can be fitted in two positions to allow the capillaries routed upwards or
N O T E
downwards (depending on where the column is located). Route the capillaries directly
column (inlet) and waste assembly (outlet).
With the instrument accessory kit comes a 4-mm wrench and with the Sealing Kit a special
N O T E
adapter. Both together work as a torque wrench with pre-defined torque (maximum
allowed torque for the cell fittings is 0.7 Nm). It can be used to tight the capillary fittings at
the flow cell body. The wrench has to be plugged into the adapter as shown in

13 If no leak is observed, install the flow cell and you are
ready to work.
14 Make sure that the flow cell assembly is inserted correctly
and fits perfectly in the optical unit (especially when PEEK
capillaries are used).
