Plumbing and Priming the C-96 Autosampler
This section explains how to plumb the C-96 autosampler to the sample inject valve
on the NGC instrument and to prime the autosampler after you plumb it. Before you
plumb and prime, you must prepare the tubing. Use 1/16" PEEK tubing to plumb the
autosampler to the sample inject valve.
For information about plumbing the autosampler, see the C-96 Autosampler for
BioLogic DuoFlow™ Chromatography System Quick Start Guide or the C-96
Autosampler for BioLogic DuoFlow Chromatography System User Manual.
To prepare the tubing
1. Cut two segments of 1/16" PEEK tubing of adequate length.
2. To one end of each segment, attach a 10-32 fitting. This fitting attaches to the
autosampler.
3. To the other end of each segment, attach a 1/4-28 fitting. This fitting attaches to
the sample inject valve.
To connect the tubing from the autosampler to the sample inject valve
1. Ensure that both the NGC instrument and the C-96 autosampler are powered
off.
2. Attach one 10-32 fitting to Port 1 and the other 10-32 fitting to Port 6 on the
autosampler.
3. Attach the 1/4-28 fitting from Port 1 to the Loop E port on the sample inject
valve.
4. Attach the 1/4-28 fitting from Port 6 to the Loop F port on the sample inject
valve.
5. Insert one 1/4-28 plug to the syringe port and another 1/4-28 plug to the Waste
port (W1) on the sample inject valve.
6. Power on the NGC instrument and the autosampler.
