1. Gather the required supplies and tools.
2. Assemble the ferrules and 1/8 in. brass Swagelok nut on the column.
3. Score the column using a glass scribing tool. The score must be square to ensure
a clean break.
4. Break off the column end by supporting it against the column cutter opposite the scribe.
Inspect the end with a magnifying loupe to make certain that there are no burrs or
jagged edges.
5. Wipe the column walls with a tissue dampened with isopropanol to remove fingerprints
and dust.
6. Insert the column into the detector until it bottoms.
7. Slide the column nut and ferrules up the column to the detector and finger tighten the nut.
8. Pull out 1 mm of column. Tighten the nut an additional 1/4 turn with a wrench or until
the column does not move.
