Tips:
Follow these suggestions if you encounter difficulty threading the tubing through the

• Using needle-nose pliers, make a 20° bend, 10 mm from the end of the tubing. Then
rotate the tubing, as necessary, as you thread it through the guide.

Note:
If you are using a 250-mL bottle in fluidics port B, ensure that you pull the tubing far
