The most precise liquid transfer occurs when the solvent
reservoirs are positioned slightly higher than the system's 12-port
valve. Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends that you do not
place the solvent reservoirs on the top of the system.
2. Uncap the solvent reservoirs and fill them with the required solvents.
3. Locate the tubing weights (P/N 071360) and barbed fittings
(P/N 070357) on the instrument assembly.
4. Insert the end of the tubing from solvent port #1 through the hole in
one of the reservoir caps. Cut the tubing length, if necessary, to avoid
slack or kinks in the solvent lines.
5. Push the tubing end through the small hole in the top of one of the
tubing weights until the tubing extends through the opposite end (see
Figure B-1. Assembly of Tubing Weight and Line
You must provide up to five suitable containers for your solvents.
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers 1-liter glass bottles (P/N 045900) for
this purpose. The plastic bottle supplied with the Dionex AutoTrace
280 should be used for water only. Do not use the bottle for solvents;
if you do, components in the plastic bottle may leach out and
contaminate your extractions.
