5.8.1 The Split Flow Interface (SFI)
The SFI incorporates a built in splitter that enables you to connect a high
flow system, such as an HPLC or MiDas™ compact interface module, to
the MiD. KNAUER recommends to use a flow rate range of 10 µL – 2 mL/
min. The SFI is also used for calibrating the MiD (see „7.1 Calibrating the
The SFI is designed to use 1/32“ OD PEEK tubing for the input and waste
lines. Various split ratios can be achieved by connecting a suitable length
of PEEK tubing to the waste (high flow) port.

The Split Flow Interface (SFI)
To assemble the spraychip to the main body of the SFI use the following
procedure.
1.
Place the PEEK screw over the metal collar as shown in Fig. 11.
2.
Unscrew the grub screw so that the spraychip 200 body will fit easily
through the PEEK screw and metal collar.
Note:
Do not completely remove/unscrew the grub screw
from the metal collar.
3.
Carefully insert the spraychip 200 into the SFI and screw the body
into the conductive union until finger tight.
Note:
Do not use a tool and do not overtighten the spray-
chip 200.
4.
Fasten the spraychip into the SFI using the grub screw. The assem-
bled SFI will look as shown in Fig. 12.
