NOTE
It is especially important to regularly replace end-line
filters when using aqueous eluents. Aqueous eluents
may contaminate the filters with bacteria or algae,
causing cause flow restrictions to the pump.
End-line filters are provided in the pump ship kit.
Before installation, thoroughly rinse the end-line filter with ASTM Type I
(18 megohm-cm) filtered and deionized water that meets the
specifications listed in
Section 1.5 to remove any loose particles.
•
Replace the seal wash solution. ASTM Type I (18 megohm-cm) filtered
and deionized water that meets the specifications listed in
Section 1.5 is
appropriate for most applications.
•
Check the tubing connected to the peristaltic pump. If the tubing is
blocked or crimped, replace it (see
Section 9.9 ).
•
Check the liquid level in each eluent reservoir and refill as required.
7.4 DP/SP Periodic Maintenance
•
Make fresh eluent as needed.
•
Replace piston seals every 6 to 12 months (see Section 9.7 ).
•
Clean eluent reservoirs every 3 months with methanol or isopropyl
alcohol, as instructed in
Section 9.4 .
