3 Installation

3.1 Installing the Liquid Handling Station

The Liquid Handling Station forms part of the IC equipment: Liquid Han-

dling Station.

Installing the Liquid Handling Station

Install the Liquid Handling Station on the left side of the Sample Pro-

cessor (see manual for the Liquid Handling Station).

3.2 Installing the rinsing solution flow path

The Sample Processor's peristaltic pump transfers ultrapure water to the

Liquid Handling Station's rinsing unit. In the rinsing unit, the Sample Pro-

cessor needle is cleaned after each sample aspiration.

We recommend that you install the Metrosep I Trap 1 - 100/4.0

(6.1014.200) column between the supply bottle and the peristaltic pump.

This trap column removes ionic contamination from the ultrapure water.
