■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 4.5 Connecting the Liquid Handling Station 3 Connecting the capillaries to the pump tubing A PTFE capillary (6.1803.020) was connected to the bottle ■ (6.1608.070) (see chapter 4.2, page 19). Tighten this PTFE capil- lary (6.1831.020) to the inlet of the pump tubing with yellow stoppers (6.1826.390) using a pressure screw (6.2744.070).
The following table lists some sample types that were filtered with the ultrafiltration cell (6.2729.110) and a filtration membrane (6.2714.020) with a pore size of 0.2 µm and subsequently analyzed on a Metrohm ion chromatograph. The concentration of the following seven anions was –...
Aqueous earth extracts 5.1.2 Selecting the filtration membrane You can apply existing sample preparation procedures to the Metrohm ultrafiltration cell (6.2729.110). If you use a different filtration membrane than the one supplied, please note that, even if the particle size is known, selecting a membrane with a suitable pore size does not automatically yield the desired results.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 5 Operation and maintenance Except for this membrane, all membranes were from the same manufac- turer. Due to the lower filter thickness the retention capacity of filtration mem- branes may be lower than that of filters with the same pore size but a higher filter thickness.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 5.2 Maintenance Tighten the PTFE capillary (6.1803.050) to the inlet labeled IN of ■ the ultrafiltration cell's lower chamber using a PVDF pressure screw (6.2744.000). Tighten the PTFE capillary (6.1803.020) to the outlet labeled OUT ■ of the ultrafiltration cell's lower chamber using a PVDF pressure screw (6.2744.000).
