6 EASY-nLC Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Scientific
Solvents
Make sure that you have degassed and uncontaminated LC/MS-grade solvents available: water/formic acid and acetonitrile/formic acid. Do not filter solvents before use. Filtering solvents can introduce contamination.
For information about LC/MS-grade solvents supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific, go to: www.FisherLCMS.com.
Connections
The EASY-nLC II system ships with a test pre-column and a test analytical column. They connect to the front of the instrument with 360 μm (OD) fittings. For any other diameter, consult with [email protected] for the best alternative solution.
A transfer line between the analytical column and the detector/spotter must be available, for example: 20 μm (ID), 360 μm (OD), fused silica.
If the detector is a mass spectrometer, both a tuned nano-ESI source and online emitters must be available.
Detector
Make sure that the primary detector that you will use with the EASY-nLC II system is tuned and capable of stable spray at nanoflow.
Trainees
As part of the installation, the Thermo Fisher Scientific field service engineer will perform familiarization training, demonstrate the use of the instrument and software, and show basic maintenance procedures. You are responsible for confirming that all trainees are present prior to the start of the training session.
IT RequirementsEnsure that your network and IT setup meet the following standards.
Network
For data access and online support/monitoring, the EASY-nLC II system must be networked through the RJ45 10/100 Mbit Ethernet connection.
The instrument must be set up to use dynamic IP addresses through a local DHCP server or given a fixed IP address (probably by an IT system administrator).
3 Operating EnvironmentIT Requirements
Thermo Scientific EASY-nLC Preinstallation Requirements Guide 7
Contact Closure
The EASY-nLC II system synchronizes with the detector through a contact closure cable.
When connected to analytical equipment, such as a mass spectrometer, ensure that the protective grounding is shared between the instruments.
The synchronization can be either one way (the EASY-nLC II system sends a START signal to the MS) or two-way (in addition to sending a START signal to the MS, the EASY-nLC II system also monitors a READY/BUSY signal from the MS to avoid wasting sample material if the MS becomes unavailable).
Detector Software
The MS software must interface to the EASY-nLC II system using contact closure. Make sure that an experienced user of MS software correctly configures the system.

Instrument Arrival
Electronic equipment carriers specializing in the handling of delicate machinery ship the instrument-type system to your site. Occasionally, however, equipment is damaged in transit.
Take the following precautions when receiving material:
• Check carefully for obvious damage or evidence of rough handling.
• Note any apparent external damage on all copies of the receiving documents and describe briefly the extent of the damage. Have the driver sign (or initial) next to your comments to signify agreement with your observations.
• To report the damage, contact your local service office, as listed in “Service Offices for Thermo Scientific SID Products” on page v.
U.S. and Canadian ShipmentsFor shipments to the United States and Canada, instruments are shipped by one of two methods:
• Local Distribution Center
• Free On Board (FOB) San Jose, CA, U.S., or FOB destination
If the system is damaged in transit, the method of shipment determines who has responsibility for filing a claim against the carrier. If the instrument shipping container, Shock Watch, or other indicator shows any evidence of damage or mishandling during shipment, do NOT open the container.

Most systems are shipped FOB San Jose, CA, and any damage incurred in shipment is the responsibility of the purchaser and the carrier. However, Thermo Fisher Scientific will assist with claims filing and (billable) repairs if necessary.
If the system is shipped FOB destination and is damaged, Thermo Fisher Scientific files a claim against the carrier.
Note Freight insurance requires that obvious damage be noted on the receiving documents.
