Installing the optional ACQUITY UPLC or Alliance
Flow-splitter kit
Install the flow-splitter kit on the ISM to dilute the eluent entering the
detector. On an ACQUITY UPLC, ACQUITY UPLC H-Class, ACQUITY
UPLC I-Class, or Alliance system, a small portion of the eluent is split and
then diluted by the ISM flow before entering the detector. The dilution
compensates for that instrument’s increased sensitivity, as compared with the
system’s parallel UV/UV-VIS or PDA detector. The eluent concentration
directed to the second detector (usually an ACQUITY UPLC PDA detector)
remains unchanged. This technology increases the linear, dynamic-range
overlap of the two detectors.
