Maintaining the PTV Inlet 9
Maintaining Your GC 155
To Install a Capillary Column with the PTV Inlet
1 Gather the following (see “Consumables and Parts for the
PTV Inlet” on page 152):
• Column
• Graphpak 2M ferrule
• Column nut
• Column cutter
• Septum
• Isopropanol
• Lab tissue
• Metric ruler
• 5- mm and 6- mm wrenches
• Typewriter correction fluid or a marker
• Lint- free gloves
2 Load the GC maintenance method and wait for the GC to
become ready.
3 Before installing the column, install the correct column
adapter. (See “To Replace the Inlet Adapter for the PTV
Inlet” on page 170.)
4 Place the column on the hanger with the ends pointing up
and the label to the front.
5 Place a Graphpak 2M ferrule onto the column, with the
graphite facing up towards the inlet.
Be careful! The oven and/or inlet may be hot enough to cause
burns. If either 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.
Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with
dirt and skin oils.
