Hi Peter,

In case there is a misunderstanding of my summary email: I have no intension
to say that Bruker's transfer line is a better design than Oxford's. All I
want is to confirm from other users that my oxford line is not working well.
Whether it is real defective or a bad seal, I don't really care now since it
is under warranty. Maybe I should not write the extra "my 1993 Bruker line
works well..", I apologize for that.

Best regards

Wei Li
