3.4 Capillary connections in the IC system
This chapter contains general information concerning the capillary connections in the IC instruments and systems.
Generally speaking, capillary connections between two components of an
IC system are made up of one connection capillary and two pressure
screws with which the capillary is connected to the respective components.
Pressure screws

(6.2744.070)
For use on the high pressure pump, the
purge valve, the inline filter, the pulsation
absorber, the guard column and the separation column.
In order to keep the dead volume as low as possible, capillary connections should generally be as short as possible.
For an improved overview, capillary and tubing connections can be
bundled with the 6.1815.010 spiral band.

3.4 Capillary connections in the IC system
Connection capillaries
PEEK capillaries and PTFE capillaries are used in the IC system.
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
PEEK capillaries (polyetheretherketone)
PTFE capillaries (polytetrafluoroethylene)
PEEK capillaries are temperature-resistant up to 100°C, stable under pressure up to 400 bar, flexible, chemically inert and exhibit an extremely
smooth surface. They can be readily cut down to the desired length with
the 6.2621.080 capillary cutter.
Usage:
￭ PEEK capillaries (6.1831.010) with an internal diameter of 0.25 mm for
the entire high pressure range.
￭ PEEK capillaries (6.1831.030) with an internal diameter of 0.75 mm for
sample handling in the ultra trace range.
PTFE capillaries are transparent and enable visual tracing of the liquids to
be pumped. They are chemically inert, flexible and temperature-resistant
up to 80°C.
Usage:
PTFE capillaries (6.1803.0x0) are used for the low pressure range.
￭ PTFE capillaries with internal diameter of 0.5 mm for sample handling.
￭ PTFE capillaries with internal diameter of 0.97 mm for sample handling
as well as for rinsing solutions (they do not have to be in the scope of
delivery of the instrument).
Capillary connections
In order to achieve optimum analysis results, capillary connections in an IC
system must be absolutely tight and free of dead volume. Dead volume
occurs if two capillary ends connected to each other do not fit exactly,
thus allowing liquid to escape. There are two possible reasons for this:
￭ The capillaries do not have exactly cut edges.
￭ The two capillary ends do not completely meet.
One prerequisite for dead volume free capillary connection is, that both
capillary ends are cut exactly plane. Therefore we recommend only to cut
PEEK capillaries with the capillary cutter (6.2621.080).
Creating dead volume free capillary connections
To create dead volume free capillary connections, proceed as follows:
Slide the pressure screw over the capillary. Ensure that the capillary
1
protrudes 1–2 mm from the tip of the pressure screw.

3 Installation
Plug the capillary all the way into the connection or coupling until
2
the stop.
Only then start turning the pressure screw, while keeping the capil-
3
lary pressed in space.
Colored sleeves for PEEK capillaries
The enclosed set of varicolored sleeves for PEEK capillaries (6.2251.000)
serves to easily differentiate the various flows of liquid in the system
through color coding. Each capillary leading a given liquid (e. g. eluent)
can be highlighted with sleeves of the same color.
To highlight a capillary, proceed as follows:
Slide a sleeve of a selected color over a capillary an move it to an
1
easily visible position.
If the capillary heats up, the sleeve shrinks and adapts to the form of
the capillary.

Saving the lamp settings
￭ Evaluate the new intensity spectrum and click on [OK] to com-
plete the lamp adjustments.
The adjusted values are transferred to the instrument. The dialog
window is closed.
6.6 Cleaning the flow-through cell
Depending on the application, hardly visible deposits may form on the lenses, which leads to higher absorption and thus increasing noise on the
baseline.
If the baseline is very noisy and the problem is not caused by other parts
of the system, the flow-through cell must be cleaned.
For the cleaning of the flow-through cell, we recommend a three step
process:
1. Rinse the flow-through cell with methanol.
2. Rinsing the flow-through cell with another solvent.
3. Dismantling and cleaning the flow-through cell manually.
Always start the cleaning process with step 1. If this does not solve the
problem, perform step 2. Perform step 3 only, if the deposits are persistent.

6.6 Cleaning the flow-through cell
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
Rinsing the flow-through cell with methanol
Disconnect the inlet capillary from the IC system.
1
Connect the inlet capillary to a high pressure pump or a peristaltic
2
pump and rinse the flow-through cell as follows – ensure that the
maximum pressure of 5 MPa is not exceeded:
￭ first, rinse with ultrapure water to avoid precipitation,
￭ then, rinse several minutes with methanol, to dissolve the depos-
its, and
￭ finally, rinse another 15 minutes with ultrapure water, to wash
away the dissolved deposits.
Observe the baseline during the last rinsing step.
3
If the baseline remains flat, the flow-through cell is clean.
If the noise persists, rinse the flow-through cell once again with
another solvent (see "Rinsing the flow-through cell with another sol-
vent", page 32).
Rinsing the flow-through cell with another solvent
A solvent made up of a 1:2 mixture of acetic acid and isopropanol has
shown good results. Depending on the application, other solvents may
also prove efficient.
Preconditions:
￭ Rinsing with methanol was inefficient.
￭ The inlet capillary is connected to a high pressure pump or a peristaltic
pump.
Rinse the flow-through cell as follows – ensure that the maximum
1
pressure of 5MPa is not exceeded:
￭ first, rinse with ultrapure water to avoid precipitation,
￭ then, rinse several minutes with the selected solvent to dissolve
the deposits, and
￭ finally, rinse another 15 minutes with ultrapure water to wash
away the dissolved deposits.
Observe the baseline during the last rinsing step.

The steps involved in the design, manufacture and servicing of instruments
are fully documented and the resulting reports are archived for ten years.
The development of software for PCs and instruments is also duly documented and the documents and source codes are archived. Both remain
the possession of Metrohm. A non-disclosure agreement may be asked to
be provided by those requiring access to them.
The implementation of the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system is
described in Metrohm’s QM Manual, which comprises detailed instructions on the following fields of activity:
Instrument development
The organization of the instrument design, its planning and the intermediate controls are fully documented and traceable. Laboratory testing
accompanies all phases of instrument development.

Software development
Software development occurs in terms of the software life cycle. Tests are
performed to detect programming errors and to assess the program’s
functionality in a laboratory environment.
Components
All components used in the Metrohm instruments have to satisfy the quality standards that are defined and implemented for our products. Suppliers of components are audited by Metrohm as the need arises.

Manufacture
The measures put into practice in the production of our instruments guarantee a constant quality standard. Production planning and manufacturing
procedures, maintenance of production means and testing of components, intermediate and finished products are prescribed.
Customer support and service
Customer support involves all phases of instrument acquisition and use by
the customer, i.e. consulting to define the adequate equipment for the
analytical problem at hand, delivery of the equipment, user manuals, training, after-sales service and processing of customer complaints. The
Metrohm service organization is equipped to support customers in implementing standards such as GLP, GMP, ISO 900X, in performing Operational Qualification and Performance Verification of the system components or in carrying out the System Validation for the quantitative determination of a substance in a given matrix.
9.3 Warranty (guarantee)
9 Conformity and warranty
Metrohm guarantees that the deliveries and services it provides are free
from material, design or manufacturing errors. The warranty period is 36
months from the day of delivery; for day and night operation it is 18
months. The warranty remains valid on condition that the service is provided by an authorized Metrohm service organization.
Glass breakage is excluded from the warranty for electrodes and other
glassware. The warranty for the accuracy corresponds to the technical
specifications given in this manual. For components from third parties that
make up a considerable part of our instrument, the manufacturer's warranty provisions apply. Warranty claims cannot be pursued if the Customer
has not complied with the obligations to make payment on time.
During the warranty period Metrohm undertakes, at its own choice, to
either repair at its own premises, free of charge, any instruments that can
be shown to be faulty or to replace them. Transport costs are to the Customer's account.
Faults arising from circumstances that are not the responsibility of
Metrohm, such as improper storage or improper use, etc. are expressly
excluded from the warranty.
