Delay Volume and Extra-Column Volume
The
delay volume
is defined as the system volume between the point of mixing
in the pump and the top of the column.
The
extra-column volume
is defined as the volume between the injection point
and the detection point, excluding the volume in the column.
Extra-Column Volume
Extra-column volume is a source of peak dispersion that will reduce the
resolution of the separation and so should be minimized. Smaller diameter
columns require proportionally smaller extra-column volumes to keep peak
dispersion at a minimum.
In a liquid chromatograph the extra-column volume will depend on the
connection tubing between the autosampler, column and detector; and on the
volume of the flow cell in the detector. The extra-column volume is minimized
with the Agilent 1290 Infinity/Agilent 1260 Infinity LC System due to the
narrow-bore (0.12 mm i.d.) tubing, the low-volume heat exchangers in the
column compartment and the Max-Light cartridge cell in the detector.
