To Install Capillary Column Clips
Be careful! The oven may be hot enough to cause burns. If the oven is hot, wear
heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles while handling, cutting, or
installing glass or fused silica capillary columns. Use care in handling these columns to
prevent puncture wounds.
1 Gather the following:
• Capillary column clip kit, see “Consumables and Parts for Columns” on page 30.
• T-20 Torx screwdriver
2 Place GC in maintenance mode: Maintenance > Instrument > Perform Maintenance >
Maintenance Mode > Start Maintenance. Wait for the GC to become ready.
3 Loosen the four corner mounting screws, but do not remove.
4 Slip each corner screw through the large hole on the clip.
5 Slide the clip so that the screw is positioned in the slot.
6 Tighten the screws enough to hold the clips in place. Once the column is installed, fully
tighten the four corner screws to secure the clips and column to the oven wall.
