GPC 1260 - RI Leaking

Has anyone experienced leakage from the open outlet below purge in the 1260 Infinity Series RI detector? If so, how did you go about in fixing this leak?

  • Hello, 

    Leaking from the drain port indicates either overpressure of the detector, meaning a blockage or restriction of the waste line causing backpressure on the cell exceeding 5 bar. Please insure a) the outlet tubing is not kinked or pinched and not connected to any other module except the MDS Viscometer inlet. If the leaking persists the detector may require repair of the flow cell.
