--After filtration, screw the ElveFlow connector to your Eppendorf or Falcon tube. Make sure that the yellow-ish line goes to the bottom of your tube. You can adjust the length by unscrewing the blue fitting on top and pushing/pulling the yellow-ish line. **Don't forget to tigthen the blue fitting afterwards!**
--
--Be aware to which channel and nozzle line your sample is connected.
--
--            Red → Channel 1, crystal line (nozzle capillary without marks/with red marks)

--\\Adjust the nozzle position by eye until it nearly touches the tape and roughly meets the X-ray interaction point. Then, move to the control hutch to use the on-axis microscope for fine adjustment. Move the nozzle tip to the beam position (red X) and write down the absolut nozzle position. From there move the nozzle in +x to your desired distance.Different distances combined with the tape speed result in several delay times for time-resolved experiments.

--* Get a new tape roll (bottom left on the cart). **Polypropylen 15 µm**
--* Cut the first cm of the new tape roll, directly behind the black sticky part.
--* Place new roll on roll holder and use sticky tape to attach the end of the old tape to the beginning of the new roll.
--* Open magnetic tape stabilizer on the **left side**. //!!!BEAMSTOP!!!//
--* Start the tape (3mm/s). Once the connetion side has arrived at the collector roll, stop the tape (0mm/s).
--* Again, cut the tape directly behind the connection side. Replace the the old roll with the **empty **one. Old roll can be discarded.
--* Attach new tape to the empty roll by using some sticky tape.
--* Close tape stabilizer.
