2.5 Column Installation
The ACCQ Prep is compatible with HPLC columns ranging from
4.6 mm up to 50 mm diameter using typical 10-32 HPLC style fit-
tings. Columns with different fittings may be used with adapters
available from HPLC fitting manufacturers. Column lengths of
up to 250 mm can be mounted to the instrument using the
included hardware. The high pressure capability of the
ACCQ
Prep may enable the use of longer columns than typical
preparative HPLC systems, but these may be difficult to mount
with the included hardware.
Larger diameter columns can also be used on the system at below
optimal flow rates and will require the column to be supported
outside of the instrument. Column packing materials of 5 or 10
µm work well on the ACCQ
Prep due to its high pressure capa-
bility, but any packing can be used if compatible with the flows
and pressures supported by the ACCQ
Prep .
2.5.1 Column mounting The ACCQ Prep includes hardware to support 4.6 mm, 10 mm, 20
mm (or 21mm), 30 mm, or 50 mm column diameters. 40 mm
columns can be mounted on the system using a “universal”
column mount (P/N 60-5234-636 not included) (Figure 2-32).
