4.10 Selecting an Eluent Concentration
The allowable eluent concentration depends on several factors: the flow rate,
suppressor type, EGC type, and cartridge configuration. For details, refer to
Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 .
Single-Cartridge or Independent Dual-Cartridge Configuration
In the single-cartridge configuration, the EG contains one EGC. In the
independent dual-cartridge configuration, the EG contains two EGCs
operating independently on separate systems (each cartridge is linked to a
different DP/SP). For details, refer to the EGC manual. Cartridge manuals are
included on the Thermo Scientific Reference Library DVD (P/N 053891).
