Figure 16–11: Disassembled VT-03 micro flow cell with spacer
Note:
VT- 03 micro cells purchased after 2009 are delivered without the metal centering ring and
have no groove in the WE and inlet block.
To ensure proper installation and optimal performance, follow the instructions below for
assembling a VT-03 micro flow cell. It is also strongly recommended that you assemble normal
VT-03 flow cells (2-mm and 3-mm GC) using a similar procedure.
Note:
Mounting the cell in another manner may lead to damage of the spacer and flow cell
blocks. For cells without a metal centering ring, skip the sections in the procedure related to
placement of the centering ring.
Instructions for assembling a VT-03 micro flow cell:
1. Hold the WE block in a horizontal position with the WE facing downward, and insert the
four bolts in the four mounting holes of the WE block. Place the glass mounting plate on
top, turn the glass plate with WE block upside down, and place it on a flat surface.
