10.3.3 Cleaning the transfer tube

The following instruction shows the steps for cleaning the transfer tube for aerosol

dilution. The maintenance of the standard transfer tube is largely identical.

1. Turn off the plasma by clicking on the

[PLASMA] button on the main toolbar or

pressing [F4].

Wait for approx. 5 min before touching

the glass components in the plasma

compartment.

Remove the glassware clamp that

secures the spherical joint of the spray

chamber and the transfer tube.

3. Rotate the mounting arm outward to

disengage the spray chamber and

transfer tube.

4. Open the plasma compartment lid.

5. While carefully holding the transfer

tube, remove the glassware clamp that

secures the spherical joint of the

transfer tube and the torch.
