Pressure protection
The UV monitor is sensitive to high pressure, but normally the pressure is low after the
column. To protect sensitive monitors after the column, the post-column pressure has
an alarm level of 0.8 MPa. This alarm is independent of other settings.

•
2 mm UV flow cell, can be used in all applications
