Setting the Dionex RFC-10 Current
For optimal suppressor performance, use the suppressor current
recommended for your target application. The setting to use depends on
several variables: the suppressor type, the column, the eluent type and
concentration, and the flow rate. Refer to the suppressor manual for the
recommended current setting for your application. Suppressor manuals
are included on the Thermo Scientific Reference Library DVD
(P/N 053891).
Before setting the current, verify that the correct suppressor type and flow
rate are selected. The maximum current allowed for the suppressor
depends on its type, and for the Atlas suppressors, the flow rate (see
Table 2).
