Setting Up the Column Heater
Note for 2-mm columns:
For best results with 2-mm columns, install a microbore heat exchanger
(P/N 060943) in the column heater. In addition, use red 0.125-mm
(0.005-in) ID PEEK™ tubing (P/N 044221), rather than the standard
black PEEK tubing, for tubing connections between the following
components:
•
Injection valve and column heater heat exchanger
•
Guard column and separator column
•
Separator column and detector cell
