Alternative instrument setups for additional functionality
The standard stack setups can be upgraded with additional valves to add
additional functionality.
on page 66 gives an overview of all supported
modifications of a standard 2D-LC instrument. At a time, only one modification is
recommended to ensure correct operation of the instrument. The standard stack
setup uses one column compartment that hosts both the
1
D and
2
D column.

Sample Loop Setup
For this setup port 4 and port 5 of the 2D-LC Standard must
be used to connect the single loop while the bypass capillary
is installed at the other position (Port 1 and 8) (for instance
see application G4245A ProtA-SEC Kit).
