2-14 Setting up the Detector
Connecting the siphon drain tubing
Siphon waste is routed down the front or to the rear of the detector via one of
two different siphon drain tubes supplied in the startup kit.
Tip:
At initial setup, Waters recommends that you fill the siphon with water
or mobile phase. Omitting this step delays satisfactory detector performance.
