Replacing the frit in the in-line filter unit
If your system is fitted with the optional in-line filter frit, follow the

Because of wear on the non-replaceable compression
fittings, replace the in-line filter unit after you use the six frits that
accompany the unit.

Stop any currently running mobile phase before replacing the
frit in the in-line filter unit.

To replace the frit in the in-line filter unit:
1. After allowing sufficient time for cooling, open the column heater,
column manager, or auxiliary column manager door.
Warning:
To avoid burn injuries, set the column temperature to Off, and
then allow the column compartment and its components to cool for 60
minutes before touching them. Monitor the column compartment
internal temperature to ensure that all components are cool.
Caution:
To prevent contaminating system components, wear clean,
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when replacing the frit in the
