TCC Operation Precautions 

CAUTION

 

The columns are shipped with 2.5 mM methanesulfonic acid as the storage solution. Flush the 
column for 30 minutes with eluent before attempting to concentrate sample. Pump the effluent 
directly to a waste container while washing the column. DO NOT pump this effluent through the 
guard column, analytical column and/or the suppressor.
