Preparing System Hardware
Recommendations:
•
Seal wash should contain no more than 10% organic solvent.
•
Before priming the plunger seals, ensure the solvent reservoir contains
sufficient solvent for priming and use.
Required materials
•
Tubing adapter (startup kit)
•
30-mL syringe (startup kit)
•
Seal-wash solution
•
Powder-free nitrile gloves
To prime the seal wash:
1.
Ensure the seal-wash waste line is in a suitable waste container. Never
recycle seal wash.
Caution:
To prevent contamination, wear powder-free nitrile gloves
when handling the solvent filter. Skin oils can contaminate the filter.
2.
If the system is dry
a.
remove the seal-wash inlet tube from the solvent reservoir, and
disconnect the inlet filter.
b.
connect the tubing adapter to the syringe.
c.
fill the syringe with seal-wash solution, and then connect the
syringe assembly to the seal-wash inlet tube.
3.
In the nanoACQUITY UPLC Console, select Auxiliary Solvent Manager
from the system tree.
4.
Click Control > Prime seal wash, and then click Start.
5.
If you connected a syringe, push on the syringe plunger to force
seal-wash solvent through the system.
6.
Click Control > Prime seal wash when the seal-wash solvent flows from
the seal-wash tube to stop the priming process.
7.
Remove the syringe and adapter, reconnect the filter, and place the
seal-wash inlet tube into the seal-wash solvent reservoir.
