Agilent, G6500-88014, Tension cord, for GC/HTC needle guide

The Agilent CTC PAL GC/HTC Needle-Guide Tension Cord is a mechanical replacement item for the needle-guide assembly of a compatible GC or high-temperature CTC PAL autosampler. The needle guide directs the syringe needle toward the intended injection position as part of an automated sample introduction cycle. The associated cord supports the guide mechanism and must be replaced with the proper service part when wear, breakage or movement problems occur. Stop automated motion, remove the affected assembly from service and inspect routing points and neighboring guide components before installing the cord. Correct attachment and tension are necessary to avoid misalignment, abnormal travel or contact between the needle and injection hardware. Verify needle-guide movement and alignment through a controlled maintenance check before processing samples. This product is not the black 280 mm injection-unit cord, a syringe plunger, a GC inlet liner or a complete autosampler. The installed configuration should match the specific needle-guide mechanism.
