3.3.2 High Flow Rate Cell

The high flow rate cell with a fixed pathlength (5 mm) has the
same construction as the preparative cells but has a

inch flow

path. This cell is capable of working with flow rates up to 3 liters
per minute.

Compression fittings made of stainless steel and polypropylene
are provided with the fixed pathlength flow cell and will accom-
modate

inch O.D. or

inch O.D. plastic tubing.
