Guide holes and capillary clips are provided at specific positions on the
system modules. Route flow connections from one module to the next
module in the Vanquish system through the appropriate guide hole or
capillary clip when instructed to do so in the manual.
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 pump or additional or spare
capillaries and tubing as recommended by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
•
The connectors must be free from contaminants. Even minute
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.
