Vial stuff–
To install the sample vials for
the fluid transfer system, you must gently
rotate them into place. If you jam them
straight up into position, the needles for the
vials are bent. Then you can’t take a sample
for that vial.
Carrier box—
Before installing the box,
make sure every card is seated. If they’re
not, you can bend or even break the cards
when you push the box in place.
Vials—
For
the
vials
for the assay reservoir,
you need to remember to
remove their caps before
raising the reservoir into
position. Otherwise, the
caps bend the probes that
±t in the vials.
Chemical biological mass spectrometer (CBMS)—
It is heavy and dif±cult to
maneuver, so be very careful when you install the CBMS. It’s best if two people
do the job. If you try to install it at the wrong angle, you can break the computer
connector.
When
you
change
the
CBMS transfer line, put the
cap on the line’s connector to
protect the probe from damage.
It breaks easily. Don’t coil the
transfer line into loops any
smaller than two feet across.
If you force the line into
smaller loops, you can break
its glass capillary tube.
Liquid sampler—
When you’re cranking
the sampler into place,
turn the knob until it’s
hand tight
and then
stop.
Some
BIDS
crews think you should
turn the knob until you
get two clicks. Not
true. Turning the knob
that much misaligns
the sampler.
