Special Information for Maintenance
The supplied parts with the flow cell allow different fittings and capillaries,
see Figure 44. Before fitting it to the flow cell, think about which type you
want to use. Depending on this you may have to use special parts mentioned in
the procedure.
The capillary may be reused by carefully removing of the ferrules using a pair
of side-cutters or the original Upchurch tool, see Figure 45.

The supplied PEEK capillaries for this flow cell have special surface treatment at both ends.
DO NOT shorten the capillaries. This may cause leakage or damage.
Bending radius smaller than 10 mm may break the quartz capillary inside the PEEK
jacket. In this case high pressure may burst the PEEK jacket.
Always wear eye protection when working close to polymer tubing that is under
pressure.
Do not use PEEK tubing with tetrahydrofuran (THF) or concentrated nitric acid (except
for short flushing procedures) and sulfuric acid.
Methylene chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide cause PEEK to swell.
During assembling take care for cleanliness.
