This section provides information about how to connect and handle
capillaries, fittings, and tubing.
5.6.3.1 General Guidelines
When connecting capillaries and tubing, follow these general
recommendations:

waste tubing) that are shipped with the product or additional or
spare capillaries and tubing as recommended by Thermo Fisher

• The connectors must be free from contaminants. Even minute
particles may cause damage to the system or lead to invalid test
results.
• Do not install capillaries or tubes that are stressed, nicked, kinked, or
otherwise damaged.
• Install capillaries and fittings only at the positions for which they are
intended.
• Follow the connecting instructions as required by the fitting
