Setting Up the Inlet for High-Flow Infusion
For high-flow infusion analyses, connect the syringe pump and the outlet of an LC pump to
two legs of a union Tee. Connect the third leg of the union Tee to the ion source.
To make the plumbing connections for sample introduction from the syringe pump into
solvent flow from an LC pump, perform these procedures in any order:
•
Connecting the Syringe to the Union Tee
•
Connecting the Union Tee to the Divert/Inject Valve
•
Connecting the LC Pump to the Divert/Inject Valve
•
Connecting the Divert/Inject Valve to a Waste Container
•
Connecting the Union Tee to the Ion Source
