For reference flows for the LockSpray source or NanoLockSpray source, the Fluidics system
delivers lock mass solution from reservoir bottle B, or for extended operating hours, from a
separate, external bottle of lock mass solution.
Tip:
You can fit a 250-mL lock mass solution bottle to port B of the Fluidics system, to
accommodate longer operating hours without the need for external bottles. To prevent loss of
lock mass solution through evaporation, fit a bottle stopper to the 250-mL bottle.
