3-20 Changing the Mode of Operation
To fit a borosilicate glass capillary (nanovial):
1. Loosen the stage retaining screw.
2. Pull the stop screw to release the stage.
3. Slide the stage out of the NanoFlow source enclosure and remove the
magnetic cover.
4. Unscrew the retaining screw, and lift the sprayer from the stage.
5. Unscrew the union from the end of the sprayer assembly.
6. Remove the existing capillary from the sprayer.
Warning: To avoid lacerations, puncture injuries, and
possible contamination with biohazardous and toxic samples,
do not touch the sharp end of the capillary.
Caution: Capillaries are extremely fragile. Take great care when
handling them. Always hold their blunt end, never the sharp end, which
can easily be damaged.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, ensure that the NanoFlow stage is
fully retracted from the source before beginning this procedure.
