Attention!
· Keeping acidic or alkaline solution in the column for a long time will lead to the column
deterioration. Complete the suggested column cleaning steps all the way up to the eluent
replacement at once and do not hold the procedure in middle way.
· Strong alkaline solvents such as 0.1-M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution can damage
the detector cell. Do not connect the detector while regenerating the column and collect
elute directly from the column outlet to the waste container.
8. Column Storage
Remove the column from the system after replacing the in-column solvent with the shipping solvent. Securely
tighten the end caps and store the column at a location with stable temperature (a cool and dark space is
recommended). Refer to section 7.3 Solvent Exchange for how to replace the eluent.
Attention!
· Never allow inside of the column to dry. It can damage the column.
9. Column Inspection
Inspection method is described in the Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
Theoretical Plate Number (N) and Asymmetry Factor (Fas) were calculated using the below equations.
(1) Theoretical Plate Number (N)
(2) Asymmetry Factor (Fas)
10. Additional Warnings
(1) Do not remove end fittings.
(2) Do not make a strong impact on the column. Do not drop or hit the column on a hard surface.
