Reinstall the EluGen Cartridge
1. Reconnect the EluGen cartridge inlet and outlet lines.
2. Turn the EluGen cartridge right-side up, and check for bubbles in the
eluent generation chamber. If necessary, shake and tap the cartridge to
remove bubbles.
3. Reinstall the EluGen cartridge in the holder. Remove the 10-32 plug
from the vent opening and reinstall the luer adapter and vent line.
4. Push the cartridge’s electrical cable connector onto the
EGC 1 (or EGC

) bulkhead connector. Twist the ring on the cable connector
fingertight to secure it.
5. Refer to Figure 9-19

To avoid damaging the suppressor, always turn off the suppressor
before hydrating the CR-TC. The pump flow is on during conditioning;
however, no flow reaches the suppressor.
