2.8 Preparing the fluidics system
This section contains information for preparing the fluidics system. For additional information, see
Connecting liquid waste lines (Page 163)
Prohibited:
reservoir bottles directly atop an instrument or device or on its front ledge. Instead,
place the bottles in the bottle tray, which serves as secondary containment in the event
of spills.
2.8.1 Installing the reservoir bottles
Use standard reservoir bottles (15-mL) for instrument setup and calibration. Use the Low-volume
Adapter Kit (sold separately) to infuse smaller volumes. The low-volume vials have a volume of
1.5 mL.
Required materials
Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
To install the reservoir bottles:
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biologically hazardous, toxic, and corrosive
materials, wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when performing this procedure.
1. Remove the reservoir bottle caps.
2. Screw the reservoir bottles onto the mass spectrometer, as shown below.
