How to Install a Makeup Gas Adapter on an Agilent Micro-ECD | GC Maintenance
The makeup gas adapter is part of the gas-flow path for an Agilent micro-ECD. In this video, I show how I install the makeup gas adapter on the micro-ECD assembly. I cover: • Accessing the micro-ECD • Removing the existing fitting • Preparing the replacement adapter • Installing and positioning the adapter • Tightening the connection • Checking the completed installation It is a small component, but correct installation is important for maintaining the detector gas-flow path

How to Install a Capillary Column in an Agilent Micro-ECD | GC Column Installation
Correct column installation at the detector is just as important as installation at the GC inlet. In this video, I show how I install a capillary GC column into an Agilent micro-ECD (µECD). I cover: • Preparing and trimming the capillary column • Installing the ferrule and detector fitting • Measuring the correct insertion depth • Positioning the column in the micro-ECD • Tightening the detector connection • Checking the final installation Incorrect detector-side column posit
