5. Connect the tubing you cut in step 4 between the elbow and the waste
reservoir.
Condensation waste line
The condensation waste outlet from the sample compartment is also located
under the front panel of the separations module, to the right of the spill tray
waste outlet. In addition to condensate from the sample heater/cooler, the
condensation waste can contain spills from broken sample vials.
To install the condensation waste line:
1. Cut a length of 3/16-inch ID tubing (startup kit) long enough to reach
from the condensation waste outlet to the front of the bench.
2. Connect one end of the tubing you cut in step 1 to the condensation
waste outlet.
3. Install a 90° elbow (startup kit) on the other end of the tubing.
4. Cut another length of 3/16-inch ID tubing long enough to reach from the
elbow fitting to the waste reservoir.
5. Connect the tubing you cut in step 4 between the elbow and the waste
reservoir.
Install needle-wash and plunger seal-wash reservoirs
The tubing for the needle-wash and plunger seal-wash reservoirs emanates
from the syringe compartment. Each wash line is marked with a label and/or
is color-coded. The following table lists the color code and size of each line. The
plunger seal-wash inlet line is labeled “Pump Wash In”, and has a diffuser
attached to one end.
Use separate solutions and containers for plunger seal wash and needle wash.
Because the functions of these solutions differ, the use of one solution for both
functions can compromise the effectiveness of either needle washing or
plunger seal washing.
Caution: To prevent damage to the separations module, be sure to use
needle-wash and plunger seal-wash solutions that are miscible with the
mobile phase you are using.
