Repacking a split insert

Since, for a split insert, its packing material is discarded in cleaning, the
insert must be repacked.
Note: Repacking with small•diameterglass beads is not recommended:
they are usually contaminated with metal filings due to sieving
procedures used. If they must be used, thorough cleaning (chemical and
physical) is required.
Use a fresh, small amount of a conventional coated packing such as
2% OV•1on 100/120 mesh, Chromosorb W•HP .
Packing is held in place between plugs of silanized glass wool (Part
No. 8500•1572).
