NOTICE
Flow cells are highly sensitive to contamination, clogging and high
backpressures. Even if the pressure exceeds the upper limit for a very
short time only, the flow cell may be permanently damaged. Observe
the following notes when connecting the flow cell to the system flow
path:
• When connecting a component in the flow path after the flow cell,
observe the specified backpressure for the flow cell.
• Use only clean Viper capillaries which were provided for the flow cell
and which have been properly protected by their cap before.
• Use only the waste line which was provided for the flow cell.
• Avoid clogging of the flow cell or waste line.
• Improperly set up flow connections can lead to leaks on the flow cell
or even destroy the flow cell. Do not invert the flow cell inlet and
outlet.
• If you install switching valves or fraction collectors downstream of
the flow cell, operating those under flow may result in pressure
spikes that can destroy the flow cell. Ensure that pressure spikes do
not exceed the flow cell pressure specification.
Follow these steps
To set up the flow connections and complete the installation of the
device, follow these steps:
1. Set up the flow connections to the flow cell (see Flow Connections
to the Flow Cell ( } page 68) ).
2. Connect the device to the drain system (refer to the Vanquish
System Operating Manual ).
For installation instructions, guidelines, and handling recommendations,
see
Connecting Fittings, Capillaries, and Tubing ( } page 66) .
5.8.2 Guiding Capillaries and Tubing Through the System
Flow connections between the modules of the Vanquish system are
guided through either the tubing chase in the devices or the guide holes
or capillary clips of the devices.
Tubing Chase, Tubing Guide, Tubing Bracket
To guide certain tubes and lines (solvent tubing, wash liquid tubing,
detector waste line) from the top module to the bottom module in the
Vanquish system stack, the stackable modules have a tubing chase on
the inside right.
