Preparing the IntelliStart Fluidics system 2-5
To install the low-volume vials
1. If a standard vial is fitted, remove it.
2. Screw the low-volume adaptors into the manifold and finger-tighten
them.
3. Screw the low-volume vials into the adaptors.
Purging the pump
Whenever you replace a solution bottle, purge the pump with the solution that
you are going to use next. See the mass spectrometer’s online Help for details.
Tip: Depending on the solutions used, the system can require more than one
purge cycle to minimize carryover.
Warning: The vials can be contaminated with biohazardous and/or
toxic materials. Always wear chemical-resistant, powder-free
gloves while performing this procedure.
Warning: Low-volume glass vials are fragile and can shatter,
cutting fingers. Take care and never use force when screwing
them into the adaptors.
