(RCM)
To install a (small-scale) 8 × 10 mm, or (large-scale) 25 × 10 mm or 40 × 10
mm, RCM:
1. Place the RCM to the left side of the Delta-Prep system. You can, if you
want, place it on the column rack floor.
2. Prepare the inlet tubing:
• For an 8 × 10 mm (small-scale) RCM, prepare a length of 0.009-inch
ID tubing to extend between the Small Scale – To Column Inlet
connector and the RCM inlet.
• For a 25 × 10 or 40 × 10 mm (large-scale) RCM, prepare a length of

“Liquid line connections” on page 2-21, and tighten the fittings at all
column connectors.
4. Prepare the outlet tubing:
• For an 8 × 10 mm (small-scale) RCM, prepare a length of 0.009-inch
ID tubing to extend between the Small Scale – From Column Outlet
connector and the RCM outlet.
• For a 25 × 10 or 40 × 10 mm (large-scale) RCM, prepare a length of
0.040-inch ID tubing to extend between the Large Scale – From
Column Outlet connector and the RCM outlet.
