5.10.3 External Leakage
External leakage may occur due to e.g. loose fittings or damaged tubing. Any leakage in the
detector flow cell is drained via the drip sheet; see Figure 5-4 on page 5-8.

If an external leakage is observed:
1. Shut down the system as described in section 5.10.1.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
3. Remove the spillage using the appropriate safety precautions.
4. If using Biotage Leak Detector, ensure that the leak detector and the leak tray (including the
space underneath the detector) is cleaned and wiped dry.

5. Check all tubes and connections for leaks. Ensure that the tubes are assembled correctly; see
“Assembling Tubes Correctly” on page 5-9. Use caution when tightening fittings to prevent
stripped threads or crushed ferrules. Replace damaged tubing; a list of spare parts is available
at www.biotage.com.
