Optimizing Detector Performance
The performance of the PDA-100 can be optimized by careful selection of the
operating parameters. Section 3.4 defines several operating parameters, describes
how they interact with each other, offers guidelines for selecting them, and
includes example chromatograms.
The following table summarizes the topics discussed in this section.
Flow Cell Material
The flow cell material must be chemically compatible with the mobile phases and
analytes of interest.

Do not use the PEEK flow cell (P/N 056346) with normal phase or
chlorinated solvents; these solvents will damage the cell.
Do not use the stainless steel flow cell (P/N 056126) with high pH
salts; this may result in corrosion, contamination, and metal leaching.
