Connecting the Tubing

3

The transfer tubing connects the outlet port (right- hand) of the Tee-junction to the probe. A 2 mL tapered transfer-tubing is supplied as standard ;

1 mL, 5 mL, and 10 mL are available as additional accessories.

Self-adhesive clips are provided for holding the transfer tubing securely against the side of the 402 (see previous page).

The 1 mL transfer tubing is recommended for transferring volumes smaller than 1 mL. To avoid movements of the tubing that could affect the precision, the 5 mL and 10 mL transfer tubings are rolled and held by magnets on the left-side of the 402.

After assembling the probe, the other end of the tubing is installed by screwing the connector into the right-hand port of the Tee-junction. When you use Diamond tips, the special non-tapered tubing, included in the kit, must be fitted.
