YSI 1505 capillary tubes are provided in the Starter Kit. These tubes, which can
be ordered separately, are preset to a volume of 25 microliters. There is a double
white band on the tube opposite the end that you put into the sample.
You may load the capillary tube into the injector before collecting the sample or
you may collect the sample first, then load the tube.

The end of the tube with the double white band goes into the injector first. The
collar around the front part of the injector barrel is the tube clamp. Each time
you insert or withdraw a capillary tube, you loosen or tighten the tube clamp so
that the capillary tube can be inserted or withdrawn easily without sticking. Just
a small adjustment of the tube clamp one way or the other is necessary.
Slide the tube all the way in until it stops. The tube should be sticking out about
1/2 an inch (12 mm), sample will be visible in the section of the tube that is
protruding, and the black band should be visible in the tube clamp window.
