Parts required # Part number Description
1 3150-0942 Filter cup
Whenever replacing the filters on the multi assembly is required because of a pump seal
change or because excessive back pressure indicates the need for a replacement, make
sure to replace the filter cup first and then the filter frit (see “Exchanging the Filter Frit” on
page 122), after having pumped another 200 ml of solvent.
It is not possible to clean a contaminated filter cup in an ultrasonic bath because any
contamination of the filter is normally permanent.
