Figure 2–1: Installing the reservoir bottles
3. For each reservoir bottle, ensure that the ends of the solvent delivery tubes are positioned
so they are close to, but not touching, the bottom of the bottle.
2.8.2 Installing the low-volume vials
To install the low-volume vials:
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biologically hazardous, toxic, and corrosive
materials, wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when performing this procedure.
1. If a standard reservoir bottle is fitted, remove it.
2. Screw each low-volume adapter into the manifold, and finger-tighten it.
Warning:
To avoid laceration injuries caused by the shattering of fragile, low-
volume glass vials, take care when installing them and never use force.
3. Screw each low-volume vial into the adapter.
4. For each low-volume vial, ensure that the ends of the solvent delivery tubes approach, but
do not touch, the bottom of the vial.
2.8.3 Purging the fluidics
Whenever you replace a solution bottle, purge the fluidics with the solution that you are going to
use next. See the mass spectrometer’s online Help for details.
Requirement:
Ensure that the end of the tubing is fully submerged in the solvent in the wash
reservoir.
Tip:
Depending on the solutions used, the system can require more than one purge cycle to
minimize carryover.
