 Waste Container Preparation
Before plumbing, prepare a waste container, or a waste container made of metal, for the waste liquid on which
detection has been completed.
 Plumbing the Cell Inlet Tube
1
Before starting plumbing, open the front cover.
Fig. 9.16

Cut the PEEK tubing provided (50 cm) to the
length required to plumb from the column outlet to
the cell inlet tube.
∗ To be prepared for accidents such as breakage
of the PEEK tubing, use the PEEK tubing
ensheathed by the FEP tubing provided.
Cut the FEP tubing about 35 to 40 mm shorter
than the PEEK tubing, then ensheath the PEEK
tubing with it. Leave equal lengths of PEEK
tubing exposed at each end so that male nuts
can be fitted.

!WARNING
• Do not use cracked or damaged containers.
They may break.
!CAUTION
• When using a mobile phase with high insulating characteristics, like hexane, use a waste
container made of metal, and ground it.
Otherwise a static electric charge could accumulate in the waste container.
• The waste container must be positioned lower than the instrument (for example, on the floor).
If it is positioned higher than the instrument, liquid will not drain, and will leak from the connections.
