Preparations

TIP

For easier guiding of capillaries to the flow cell inlet, remove the right door of the detector, see Replacing the Doors.

  1. Flush the system modules and capillaries upstream of the device to waste before you connect the flow cell to the system flow path. Refer to the Vanquish System Operating Manual.

  2. Remove the plugs from the flow cell inlet and outlet.

  3. TIP

    Store the plugs of the flow cell, for example in the flow cell packaging, to have them easily available when storing or shipping the flow cell.

  4. Install the partition panel plugs (if not present yet). See Installing the Partition Panel Plugs.

Follow these steps

  1. Connect the inlet capillary to the flow cell.
