1Transfer-tubing (outlet) non-tapered, FEP (2 mL)

1.Lay the tubing on the probe’s groove such that the end with the small washer is just at the orifice of the probe.

2.Push the tubing into the groove in the probe at the 3 round access points using the rounded end of a pencil (for example). Do not press on the tubing with your fingernail.

3.Screw the tip-holder onto the end of the probe.

4.Plug the end of the control cable into the socket, labeled ‘PROBE’ at the back of the 402.

5.Fit the clamp at the right-hand side of the 402 (see on the previous page).

6.Mount the probe on the clamp.

7.Connect the other end of the tubing to the outlet of the valve (Single-syringe) or the Tee junction (Dual-syringe).

8.Inform the 402 Software of the new configura- tion using the Conf (Vol) menu.

9.Fit a tip to the holder. In use, when you change a tip, wipe the end of the tip-holder first, to remove any liquid from the orifice. Do not twist the probe to the left, when fitting a tip, otherwise the tip-holder will unscrew itself.

(1)The small washer is important in that it helps to ensure that fluid does not leak from the junction between the tip-holder and the orifice of the probe.

(2)The special ‘S’ shaped metallic clips, which are pre-mounted, are for supporting the tubing on the black control cable. The tubing for use with the tip-holder will not pass through the plastic ‘tunnels’ in the pre-mounted cable supports. However, to make the metallic clip easier to attach, you can push these black tubing-supports to the end of the cable.
