B.4 Preparing the fluidics system
For additional information, see
.
Prohibited:
To avoid injuries from broken glass, falling objects, or exposure to toxic
substances, do not place containers directly on top of the instrument or on its front
covers. Instead, use the bottle tray.
B.4.1 Installing the reservoir bottles
Use the following size reservoir bottles:
• Lock mass (250-mL)
• Wash (125-mL)
• Calibrant (60-mL)
Note:
For correct operation of the fluidics system, solvent delivery tubing must approach, but not
touch, the bottom of each reservoir bottle. To ensure that an appropriate length of solvent delivery
tubing protrudes from the fluidics panel, adjust the tubing from the valves of the fluidics system.
Required tools and materials
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
To install the reservoir bottles:
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biologically hazardous, toxic, and corrosive
materials, wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when performing this procedure.
1. Remove the reservoir bottle caps.
2. Place each bottle onto the ACQUITY RDa detector, as shown below.
