Maintaining the VI 10
Maintaining Your GC 181
To Install a Capillary Column with the VI
1 Gather the following:
• Long (65 mm) column nut
• Column
• Ferrule
• Column cutter
• Isopropanol
• Septum
• 1/4- inch wrench
• Lab tissue
• Metric ruler
• Lint- free gloves
2 Load the inlet maintenance method and wait for the GC
to become ready.
3 Place the column on the hanger with the ends pointing up
and the label to the front.
4 Place a septum, long capillary column nut, and ferrule on
the column.
Use a long column nut. (See “Consumables and Parts for
the VI” on page 178.)
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.
