Q-SENSE E4 LIQUID HANDLING SET UP
Part 2 –Tubing connectors
The ferrule forms a tight seal as it
is deformed when being screwed
into the flow module. Place the
ferrule and threaded connector
as shown before attaching them.
Note that the arrows on the top of
the module indicate the
direction
of the flow for correct sample
temperature equilibration.
Use the brown adapter (the
perifit) to connect to the soft
pump tubing (expanding the
narrow bore of the pump tubing
with a pipette tip may help). If
1.5-2mL tubes are used, the
white lids can be used to guide
the tubing.
Note
that the lid needs
to be vented to work properly.
Place the pump and sample
holder so that the samples are
drawn through the E4 system.
This setup will reduce the need
for pump tubing cleaning and
prevent from leakage accidents.
For details, please check the E4 Operator Manual.
