Pre-rinsing the aspiration filter
NOTICE
Always wear gloves when handling the aspiration filter.
In order to avoid air bubbles after the installation of the aspiration fil-
ter, we recommend pre-rinsing the aspiration filter with water or elu-
ent.
For pre-rinsing, you will need the holder for the eluent aspiration fil-
ter (6.2744.360), a syringe and the purge needle (6.2816.040).
This procedure can also be found in the video "Inserting a new aspi-
ration filter" at the following link: ic-help.metrohm.com
