Helpful Hints
To maintain pump performance, keep the following in mind when operating the
XLP 6000:
Wipe up all spills immediately.
Pumping cold fluids may cause leaks, the result of differing coefficients of
expansion of Teflon and glass. Leaks may occur when pumping fluids that are
at or below 15
°
C (61
°
F).
To reduce the amount of carryover, a ratio of three parts reagent to one part
sample is recommended.
Before pumping any organic solvent, please refer to Appendix D, "Chemical
Resistance Chart" in this manual. Using organic solvents may reduce tubing
and seal life.
Replace the valves and syringe seals as needed. (Interval may vary
depending on the application.)
