Then cut the tubing to about 2 mm past the tip of the ferrule. See
Figure 379.

3. Insert the ferrule and the tubing into the NoVent microfluidics module. See

4. Add the FingerTite screw to the module and tighten.
5. Now you must prepare the other end of the tubing to connect to the microfluidics 3-port
splitter. It is much easier to attach the ferrule to the tubing while it is outside the GC.
You will connect it to the splitter later.
6. Position a SilFlow nut and SilFlow ferrule onto the tubing as shown in
Figure 381.

7. Use a scoring wafer to cut the tubing after inserting it through the ferrule. See
.
Then use the SilFlow pre-swage tool to secure the ferrule into position. When done
properly, the tubing will extend slightly past the tip of the ferrule.
