Checking for Leaks
The tubing has a finite lifespan, and will wear out under normal use. Standard
maintenance procedures require that you periodically check for leaks. To do
so, complete the following steps:
1 Turn off and unplug the ASXPRESS PLUS Rapid Sample Introduction System.
2 Visually inspect all tubing and valves for leaks or signs of deterioration.
3 Visually inspect the surfaces below all tubing for signs of liquid.
If you detect a leak or other damage to any component, you must replace it. For
more information, see the appropriate section in this chapter.
Replacing the Tubing
To replace the tubing, complete the following steps:
1 Turn off and unplug the ASXPRESS PLUS Rapid Sample Introduction System.
2 Remove and replace all tubing as necessary, using care to remove/replace
tubing at barb fittings and at compression type fittings without damaging
those fittings to which they connect.
For more information on how to install the rinse tubing, see the appropriate
“Preparing the Autosampler” chapter in this manual.
