Figure 19: Connecting the inlet capillary from the column compartment
(example)
1. Route the inlet capillary from the column compartment through the
guide hole in the device enclosure. Use the guide hole that is next to
the column compartment.
TIP Always keep the capillary connection between the column
compartment and the flow cell as short as possible to minimize peak
dispersion (i.e. peak broadening effects due to extra dispersion volume).
2. If the column compartment is located to the right of the detector
Route the capillary through the bottom recess in the partition panel.
Make sure that you use the suitable partition panel plug for the
capillary.
TIP For capillaries with small outer diameter, the plug with slit secures
the capillary properly. For capillaries that do not fit in the plug with slit,
such as an insulated inlet capillary, use the rotating plug.
3. Connect the inlet capillary to the flow cell inlet or to the inlet ( IN ) on
the flow cell connection unit.
