Thank you.

Hi

Try Google and you will find - as I did - amongst other references

The important thing is to pre wet the tube to prevent the bubbles collapsing before they reach the upper mark in the tube. This can be also be achieved by producing several bubbles. You will learn this by trial and error :-)

GOM: Thank you for both the video and the manual - they helped me a lot in finding the flow rate of the GC I am currently using as I am still new to using the instrument..

reading the manual and seeing it how it is actually done made it easier to use when I am using it in the lab :)
