AUTOSAMPLER MAINTENANCE
Rotor seal replacement is the most common injection valve
m
aintenance procedure. Indications include rotor seal blockages
and cross-port leaks. You should suspect a cross-port leak if you
notice a drop of mobile phase coming out of the needle when it
rises to draw sample from a vial. Or, if you experience poor
i
njection volume precision. Cross-port leaks can also be found by
performing a pressure test.
Tools
9/64Allen wrench (to remove the stator face and
disassemble the valve)
Metric hexagonal keys (for the rest of the Autosampler screws)
1/4
Wrench (to remove the capillaries)
For Standard and Well Plate Autosamplers
G1313A, G1327A, G1367A
