5 Keep the syringe in a horizontal position.
6 Remove t#he needle.
7 Add the filter to the syringe and fit the needle to filter.
8 Lift the needle tip and carefully eject approximately 0.5 ml to remove air
out of the syringe and to flush the needle.
9 Add the PEEK fitting to the needle tip and fix both at the flow cell inlet.

0.1 ml. This will assure that the cell is filled properly.
