 To connect the capillaries to the microfluidics splitter
1. Place the ferrule connected to the original GC column into capillary B location on the
microfluidics splitter. See
on a correctly installed splitter.
Figure 398. Correct Orientation for the Microfluidics Splitter
Tip If a ferrule gets stuck in the microfluidics splitter, use a thumbtack or similar
pointed tool for removal. Insert the point of the tool between the ferrule and threads
and press so that the ferrule is forced off center. This will dislodge the ferrule.
2. Use the FingerTite tool to secure the nut you previously attached to the column to top of
the three holes on the microfluidics splitter.
3. Orient the capillary connected to the transfer line and the one attached to the no-vent
module as shown in
Figure 399. Correct Orientation of Columns to Microfluidics Splitter
4. Close the GC door.
5. Close the vent valve knob.
