Washing the sample manager needle
Washing the needle is an optional procedure that flushes strong and/or weak
wash solvent through the needle and injection port. Washing the sample
manager needle removes contaminants from its inner and outer surfaces and
from the external piercing needle and injection port. You can also perform a
needle wash to ascertain proper flow through the waste tubing and to confirm
that the needle wash system is primed and properly operating.
