Inspect the elbow connector periodically for signs of wear, cracks, or blockages.
Check for any buildup or sample residues inside the connector, especially if using aggressive chemicals or samples with high salt content.
Cracks, Deformation, or Leaks: Replace the connector immediately if you detect any visible damage, such as cracks, deformation, or leaks. Even small cracks can lead to major system failures if left unattended.
Blockages: If blockages are frequent or difficult to remove, it’s better to replace the connector rather than risk continuous performance issues.
Chemical Degradation: Replace the elbow connector if it becomes discolored or shows signs of chemical corrosion, which can compromise its performance and potentially contaminate samples.
