5.11.3 Before Starting a Measurement with Injectors
Before starting a measurement make sure that:
•
The tubes are clean. If not please refer to chapter 5.10.2 Priming and
Washing of the Infinite 200 PRO for details how to clean the injector system.
•
The injector tubes are correctly inserted into the storage bottles and fixed.
•
The injector system is primed. It is not possible to start a measurement
without priming the system.
When priming the system:
•
Check the tubes for leaks, visually or using a nonhazardous fluid, before
priming with valuable reagents.
•
Check the tubes for kinks, visually or using a nonhazardous fluid, before
priming with valuable reagents.
•
Make sure that the injector needles are not twisted.
•
If the tubes require replacement for any reason, after the tubes have been
changed do not forget to perform washing and priming before starting a
measurement.
