Plumbing the IntelliStart Fluidics sample delivery system
This section explains how to plumb the sample delivery system for standard
flow applications. For low flow, nanoACQUITY UPLC applications, the
column outlet passes directly to the nanoflow sprayer, bypassing the
IntelliStart Fluidics system.

All tubing is PEEK, with the exception of the connection between the pump
and sample selector valve, which is stainless steel.
