Agilent Sample Introduction Pump System SIPS 10/20 User’s Guide
NOTE
This value should typically be between 95 and 105.
Now condition the tube as described in the following section.
Conditioning the SIPS Pump Tubing
Before each use of a new tube, you should condition the tubing using
the following procedure:
1
Connect the outlet of the pump tube to a waste vessel.
2
Replace the de-ionized water at the inlet tube with 1% Decon or
Triton detergent solution. From the instrument page, select
‘Condition pump tubes' from the menu. Set the time limit to 15
minutes and press OK. Pump this solution until the time has
lapsed.
3
Replace the detergent solution with de-ionized water and pump
for an additional 30 minutes. This will complete the conditioning
of the tube.
4
Connect the outlet tube to the SIPS T-piece. The SIPS unit is now
ready for regular operation.
Fitting the Dust Cover
To attach the protective dust cover to the pump unit, clip the hooks
on the cover over the posts located on the sides of the pump unit.
Ensure all tubing is positioned under the opening in the dust cover.
Connection to an Autosampler
If automatic sampling is required, the SIPS can be used with the
Agilent SPS 3, SPS 4 or SPS-5 autosampler. Connect the end of the
sample pump directly to the PTFE tubing attached to the SPS probe.
