INSTALLATION
Reagent Line Assembly
1. Cut appropriate lengths of 1/16”ID Teflon tubing, not to exceed 5’ lengths. The ends need to be a
square-cut face.
2. Slide the flangeless nut over the tubing, with the nut threads facing the tubing end.
3. Slide the flangeless ferrule over the tubing, with the tapered portion of
the ferrule facing towards the nut. The large diameter of the ferrule
should be pushed to the end of the tubing.
4. AutoBlock reagent ports are located on the left side of AutoBlock
labeled #’s 1-10.
5. Insert the tubing with the flangeless ferrule into the receiving port
until it bottoms. While holding the tubing, tighten the Flangeless nut
finger tight. The tubing should not be able to move in the port.
Repeat for all ports available.

Vented Reagent Caps and Bottom of the Bottle Filter (optional)
Loosen the nut on the top of a vented reagent cap. Insert one end of reagent tubing through the nut until
it reaches the bottom of the 2.5L bottle. Hand tighten the nut.
A bottom of the bottle filter may be used to filer the reagent. Attach this to the end of the tubing before
inserting it into the 2.5L bottle.
