NOTICE
Damage to nanoViper fitting
Grasp the torque screwdriver by its base part and hold it straight. Tilting the torque screwdriver results in too much force applied to the nanoViper fitting and may result in damage to the fitting or the torque screwdriver.
Insert the Viper capillary into the connection port.
Tighten the connection with your fingers.
Use the torque screwdriver to tighten the connection further. To access difficult-to-reach capillaries, use the extension adapter.
Tighten the connection until the torque limitation has been reached, which is indicated by a clicking sound.
Check whether the connection leaks. If leakage exists, resolve the leakage.
