The flow path of the seal wash system passes through the metering device head in the autosampler and the pump heads in the pump. The seal wash system comprises the following parts:
In the pump: Seal wash pump (peristaltic pump), seal wash lines, and seal wash detector (drop detector)
In the autosampler: Seal wash lines
Reservoir for the seal wash liquid
Both, the autosampler and pump are shipped with the seal wash components installed and the lines connected within each of the two modules.
To complete the setup, interconnect the seal wash paths of the modules, connect and fill the seal wash reservoir, and flush the seal wash system (see Setting Up the Seal Wash System).
