Tip: To ensure proper drip protection, be sure the solvent delivery and solvent
conditioning trays are resecured in place with screws before you operate the
system.
The following figure illustrates the various solvent management system
components (with the solvent delivery tray pulled out). See the table on
page 185 for a description of the functions of these components.
Warning: To prevent injury, always observe good laboratory practices
when you handle solvents, change tubing, or operate the separations
module. Know the physical and chemical properties of the solvents you
use. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents in use.
