How to work with sticky samples?

In FIDA itis immediately clear, when stickiness reaches a level which might disturb thedata readout. Stickiness isnot causing problems in FIDA. Moderate sticky material can be run with regularFIDA capillaries. With stronger stickiness, you may apply a dedicated, dynamiccoating to regular capillaries or permanently coated capillaries.
