2.3 Accessories
Using the Tube bender
The Tube bender, provided as an accessory with the instrument, helps in bending tubing
without introducing kinks. Short lengths of tubing, especially the i.d. 4.8 mm tubing on
the inlet side of the pumps, are particularly susceptible to kinking.
Use the Tube bender as described in the steps below.
