ASXPRESS Valve/Pump Module Tubing Connections
To make the plumbing connections to the ASXPRESS (Figure
1-49), perform the following:
1. Remove the protective cover from the 6-port valve.
2. Install a sample loop between ports #1 and #4 of the 6-port valve (as
labeled on the valve). Use caution to prevent kinking of loop!
3. Ensure that the 60” length of 1/8” tubing (which is pre-connected to the
“out” port of the vacuum pump) is inserted into a waste container. Cut
this length to fit your specific setup, ensuring that the discharge end is
not placed so that it may become submerged below the liquid level of the
waste container.
4. Install the autosampler probe in the autosampler per instructions
included with the autosampler.
5. Connect the tube from the probe to port #2 of the 6-port valve.
