Normal Phase Seals and Wear-in Procedure

There is a wear-in procedure in the Agilent 1200/1260 LC pump manuals. This wear-in procedure is for reverse phase seals, not normal phase seals. The manual states in the description of the seal wear-in procedure that normal phase seals would be damaged by the procedure. The pressure being over 300 bar damages the normal phase seals. IPA is fine with the normal phase seals.
