Preparing the IntelliStart Fluidics system
For additional information, see “Connecting the liquid waste line” on
page B-13.
Installing the vials
Use standard vials (30 mL) for instrument setup and calibration. To infuse
relatively small volumes, use the Low-volume Adaptor Kit (included). The
volume of the low-volume vials is 1.5 mL.
Required materials
Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
To install the vials
1. Remove the vial caps.
2. Screw the vials onto the mass spectrometer, as shown below.
Warning: The vials can be contaminated with biohazardous and/or
toxic materials. Always wear chemical-resistant, powder-free
gloves while performing this procedure.
