Waters APGC - Installing vials in the vial carriers

2-14 Setting up the APGC
Installing vials in the vial carriers
You must install the vials in the vial carriers before connecting the APGC to
the mass spectrometer (see page 2-16).
Required materials
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
• Tweezers
To install the vials in the vial carriers
:
1. Prepare the instrument for working on its source (see page 2-2).
2. Prepare the sample vials as required (see Appendix C).
3. Pull the APGC source enclosure release (located at the bottom,
right-hand side) outwards, and swing open the enclosure.
Warning: To avoid personal contamination with biologically
hazardous, toxic, or corrosive materials, and to avoid
spreading contamination to uncontaminated surfaces, wear
clean, chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when handling
source components.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, prepare the instrument for
work performed on its source before beginning this
procedure.
Warning: To avoid burn injuries, take great care while working
with the source components, which can be hot.
