4.2.4.2 Connecting the Carrier Gas Particulate Filter
1 Remove any shipping caps on 3000 Micro GC.
2 Install one carrier gas particulate filter (PN 3150-0602) on the carrier gas
supply tubing for each carrier gas used (see Figure 4-5). Do not connect the
tubing to 3000 Micro GC at this time.
Figure 4-5 Carrier gas particulate filter setup
 Install the carrier gas filter within 15 cm (6 in.) of the 3000 Micro GC fitting
to maximize its effectiveness.
 Use a cutoff valve (not provided) as shown in Figure 4-5 for ease of
maintenance. The valve should be "packless" (sealed to atmosphere) and
grease free. Common industrial or home-supply ball valves should not be
used.
 Chemical traps on the carrier gas line may be used to protect the column.
