Priming and Purging the System
If a degasser is installed, it can be primed either by drawing solvent through
the degasser with a syringe or by pumping with the pump.
Priming the vacuum degasser or system with a syringe is recommended, when:
• vacuum degasser or connected tubings are used for the first time or vacuum
tubes are empty or
• changing to solvents that are immiscible with the solvent currently in the
vacuum tubes.
Priming the system by using the pump at high flow rate (3–5 ml/min) is
recommended, when:
• pumping system was turned off for a length of time (for example, overnight)
and if volatile solvent mixtures are used, or
• solvents have been changed.
