8. Connect the tubing to one of the three restrictor modules, as shown in
the following diagram.
Recommendations:
•
Use one-piece, finger-tight, PEEK fittings for all restrictor module
tubing connections.
•
When installing the Alliance Flow-splitter kit, use a .009-inch ID ×
40.6 cm (16 inches) length of tubing to connect outlet 1 to the optical
detector.
Notes:
•
Remove the black O-rings prior to installing the tubing. The O-rings
on the tubing are used to hold the fittings in place during shipping.
•
When making the tubing connection to inlet 2, connect the gold
fitting to the ISM filter and the PEEK fitting to inlet 2.
•
The optical detector inlet tubing and ISM outlet tubing are supplied
in the ACQUITY UPLC Flow-splitter kit.
•
Only the ISM outlet tubing is supplied in the Alliance Flow-splitter
kit.
Tip:
To prevent contamination, install fluoropolymer plugs on any
unused restrictor modules.
