1.3 Fluidics System
1.3.1 Fluidics system
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.
The divert valve automatically controls the flow of the fluidics in the system, delivering sample
directly to the instrument's source in one of the following two ways:
• From the LC column
• From one of the three integral reservoir bottles:
• The lock mass reservoir, which has a capacity of 250 mL and is used for the lock mass
solution and instrument setup.
• The wash reservoir, which has a capacity of 125 mL and contains solvent for automated
flushing of the instrument’s solvent delivery system.
• The calibration reservoir, which has a capacity of 60 mL and is used during calibration.
The waste reservoir is normally a bottle stored under the instrument bench.
During normal operation, you must keep the instrument door closed.
The following figure shows the only configuration allowed for the divert valve.
