3. Insert the ferrule and the tubing into the NoVent microfluidics module. See
Figure 382. Securing the 30 cm Fused Silica Restrictor to the No-Vent Microfluidics Module
4. Add the FingerTite screw to the module and tighten.
5. Now you must prepare the other end of the tubing to connect to the microfluidics 3-port
splitter. It is much easier to attach the ferrule to the tubing while it is outside the GC.
You will connect it to the splitter later.
6. Position a SilFlow nut and SilFlow ferrule onto the tubing as shown in
Figure 383. Positioning the SilFlow Nut and SilFlow Ferrule Correctly on the Tubing
7. Use a scoring wafer to cut the tubing after inserting it through the ferrule. See
Then use the SilFlow pre-swage tool to secure the ferrule into position. When done
properly, the tubing will extend slightly past the tip of the ferrule.
