To install the new capillary
:
1. Use the sharp knife or PEEK tubing cutter to cut a piece of red PEEK
tubing approximately 60 cm (24 inches) long.
Requirement:
Cut the tubing squarely (that is, perpendicular to its
horizontal axis).
2. Insert one end of the red PEEK tubing in the probe inlet connector, and
screw the connector into the PEEK union so that it is finger-tight.
Rationale:
Doing so ensures a minimum dead volume when fitting the
capillary.
3. Fit the UNF coupling to the new capillary.
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biohazards or
toxic materials, and to avoid spreading contamination to
uncontaminated surfaces, wear clean, chemical-resistant,
powder-free gloves when working with the probe and source
components.
Warning:
To avoid puncture wounds, handle the probe with care;
the ESI probe tip is sharp.
