This section provides information about how to connect and handle
capillaries, fittings, and tubing.
When connecting capillaries and tubing, follow these general
recommendations:
•
Use only the capillaries and tubing (for example, solvent lines or
waste tubing) that are shipped with the device or additional or spare
capillaries and tubing as recommended by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
•
The connectors must be free from contaminants. Even minor
particles may cause damage to the system or lead to invalid test
results.
•
Do not install capillaries or tubing that is stressed, nicked, kinked, or
otherwise damaged.
•
Install capillaries and fittings only at the positions for which they are
intended.
A delay capillary is used to connect HPLC detector outlet and fraction
collection valve central port (Inlet).
A detector waste line is shipped with HPLC detector. However, if a
fraction collector is installed in the HPLC system, the waste line will be
used to connect with the Y-connector outlet of the fraction collector and
routed to waste reservoir.
