Adapting For Cool On-column Injection
The 7683 Automatic Liquid Sampler can be adapted to inject samples directly
onto 250-
µm, 320-µm, and 530-µm columns in the 6890 with cool-on-column inlet.
If you wish to adapt the injector and GC for cool on-column use, follow these
steps:
1. Select the on-column syringe needed for the column size. See your Agilent
catalog for consumables and supplies, and Volume 2 of your GC Operating
Manual for a list of parts.
2. Prepare the GC inlet. (See Volume 2 of your GC Operating Manual for
instructions).
• Check your needle to column size.
• Verify that the insert matches the needle size.
• If necessary, replace the septum.
3. Verify that the correct needle support assembly is installed in the injector.
Replace if necessary. See Replacing The Needle Support Assembly on
page 19.
For a list of consumables needed to perform these injections, see Volume 2 of
your GC Operating Manual.
