2.7 Eluent generator (optional)
The eluent generator is a device that automatically generates eluent on line by using the
principle of electrolyzed water. The device consists of eluent tank, electrolysis generating device,
degassing device, circuit control and other parts. The eluent tank contains ultrapure water with
resistivity not less than 18.25Ω·cm. When the device is used, only ultrapure water needs to be
input at the end of the infusion pump, and no operator is required to prepare a drenching solution,
which can reduce the abrasion of the plunger of the infusion pump by salt solution crystallization
and effectively prolong the service life of the infusion pump.
The specific working principle diagram is shown in Figure 2-6. The KOH eluent generator
generates OH- eluent for anion exchange separation, and the MSA eluent generator generates
methanesulfonic acid eluent for cation exchange separation. For more detailed information,
please refer to the
