Today we\u2019re going to show you how to use Restek\u2019s PAL SPME Arrow Manual Injection Tool. It is important to get the procedure right, so we have some great tips and tricks to help you do it perfectly every time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start at the beginning. When inserting the SPME Arrow tool into a vial or injection port, it\u2019s important to keep pressure upward on the top part of the injection tool.&nbsp;This will keep the Arrow\u2019s fiber in the sheath, which will prevent it from being damaged while the Arrow is piercing the vial or inlet septum.&nbsp;An easy way to maintain upward pressure is to place your thumb or finger on the tab like this.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you pierce the vial, continue to apply upward pressure on the top part of the tool until the tool is completely inserted.&nbsp;Now it\u2019s time to expose the Arrow\u2019s fiber. Carefully shift your grip on the tool so you can use your thumb or finger to press down on the top part of the tool. Continue to press down until the fiber is completely exposed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the fiber extraction is finished according to your sampling method, it\u2019s time to retract the fiber.&nbsp;Your instinct will be to pull the tool right out of the vial or&nbsp;inlet, but&nbsp;doing so can easily damage the fiber coating. Instead, simply return your thumb or finger to the position below the tab.&nbsp;Then gently apply upward pressure to retract the fiber.&nbsp;Now, with a slow and gentle upward motion, you can safely remove the tool from the vial or inlet, taking care to maintain upward pressure.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember that it is important to never reverse these steps.&nbsp;Never press down on the tab while inserting the tool into a vial or inlet. This will expose the fiber coating to the septum and damage the Arrow.&nbsp;Similarly, never press down on the tab while removing the Arrow from the vial or inlet. This will also expose the fiber coating to the septum and damage the Arrow.&nbsp;And that\u2019s it. That\u2019s how easy it is to use Restek\u2019s PAL SPME Arrow Manual Injection Tool.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to like and subscribe for more helpful content, and thank you for joining us for this Restek Tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you use SPME Arrows?
