Replacing Injector Tips
Replace the injector tips if performance deteriorates or you suspect contamination. The
instrument can use either metal or plastic tips.
Required tools: Tip Extractor
Tip:
Instruments with the automatic aperture switch option can use either a metal
or plastic injector tip. The metal tip is recommended unless the assay requires a
metal-free path.
1. Power off the instrument.
2. Loosen the captive screws on the front of the instrument and raise the top cover up
and over the instrument.
Tip:
If the captive screws are too tight to loosen by hand, use a slotted
screwdriver.
3. Locate the tubing for the injector, unscrew the fitting by turning it counter-clockwise,
and then twist the tubing assembly off the adapter.
