Perform a leak test with the flow cell outside of the 
detector.
24 If no leak is observed, install the flow cell and you are 
ready to work.
25 Make sure that the flow cell assembly is inserted correctly 
and fits perfectly in the optical unit (especially when PEEK 
capillaries are used).
NOTE
The cell body can be fitted in two positions to allow the capillaries routed upwards or 
downwards (depending on where the column is located). Route the capillaries directly
