The 2-position/10-port valve can be used here in the same way as a 2-position/6-port valve, just follow the rerouting diagram below.
Map the ports from the 2-position/6-port valve to the corresponding ports of the 2-position/10-port valve according to the red arrows. For example, mount the capillary connected to port 6 (2-position/6-port) at port 2 instead.
Connect port 1 and port 8 with a 120 mm length capillary. Plug plastic fittings into ports 9 and 10.
NOTE
Use utmost care to avoid any void volumes caused by poor connections.
Connect the capillaries going to a valve and fasten them immediately with a spanner.
Starting from position one through six (ten, respectively), connect respective capillaries to the heat exchangers. First, finger-tighten and then use a spanner.
Finger-tighten the capillaries going from heat exchangers to columns on the heat exchanger side, then fasten all fittings with a spanner.
Mount heat exchangers into the MCT.
Connect column inlet capillaries to the columns.
Connect column outlet capillaries to the columns.
Fasten all fittings on attached modules (autosampler, detector, additional pumps). Fit all unused valve ports with blank nuts.
Push the valve into the rear position.
Place the capillaries that go to another module or waste into the capillary guides to prevent squeezing them when closing the front cover.
Stow any excess lengths of the capillaries.
Perform a final leak check.
