Sandy,
Try some silcone seal (caulking) to cleaned surfaces. Let is set
overnight. And refill and reconnect your trap. As always vent the exhaust
tubing.

Subject: TMA leaks

Greetings ABRF'ers:
Has anyone come up with a way to seal the joint around the tubing going
into the acid trap on ABI protein sequencers? My lab constantly smells of
TMA and this doesn't make me very popular with my coworkers.
Is there any advantage to switching to a different base instead of TMA
(other than the aroma)?
