3. Tighten the probe locking ring to secure the probe in place.
Requirement:
Fully tighten the probe locking ring. Doing so ensures a
successful result on the automatic pressure test, which runs when the
probe is correctly seated, and the source enclosure door is closed.
4. Using tubing equal to 0.004-inch ID, connect port S of the selector valve
to the IonSABRE II probe.
Recommendation:
To reduce peak broadening, use 0.004-inch ID tubing
for sample flow rates ≤ 1.2 mL/min; use 0.005-inch ID tubing for sample
flow rates
>
1.2 mL/min.
Requirements:
• If you are replacing the tubing between the selector valve and the
probe, minimize the length to reduce peak broadening.
• When cutting the tubing to length, cut it squarely (that is,
perpendicular to its horizontal axis).
5. Install the corona pin (see page 93 ).
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, do not use stainless steel tubing
or stainless steel “finger tight” screws to connect the selector valve
to the IonSABRE II probe; use the PEEK tubing and natural
(beige) colored PEEK “finger tight” screws supplied with the
instrument.
