Replacing the IonSABRE II probe sample capillary 4-81
• Needle-nose pliers
• 7-mm wrench
• Combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool
• Red PEEK tubing
• LC pump
• HPLC-grade (or better) 1:1 acetonitrile/water
• Capillary
• Sharp knife or PEEK tubing cutter
• Safety goggles
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, finger-tight, into the PEEK union.
Rationale:
Doing so ensures a minimum dead volume when fitting the
capillary.
Warning:
The probe and source components can be contaminated
with biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always wear
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this
procedure.
