When connecting capillaries and tubing, follow these general recommendations:
Use only the capillaries and tubing (for example, solvent lines or waste tubing) that are shipped with the product or additional or spare capillaries and tubing as recommended by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
The connectors must be free from contaminants. Even minute particles may cause damage to the system or lead to invalid test results.
Do not install capillaries or tubes that are stressed, nicked, kinked, or otherwise damaged.
Install capillaries and fittings only at the positions for which they are intended.
