30-cm single-zone column
manager
Variations in column temperature can shift peak retention times,
altering peak shapes and increasing the difficulty of achieving precise
results. The 30-cm single-zone column manager (CM-30S) helps ensure
precise, reproducible separations by controlling the column
temperature.
Description
The CM-30S controls the temperature of columns mounted in a single,
temperature-controlled compartment, or zone. By means of passive
preheaters, it heats the incoming solvent and column compartment to a
specified temperature, in increments of 0.1 °C. The CM-30S can maintain
column compartment temperatures extending from 5 °C above ambient to
90 °C.
When configured as part of an UltraPerformance Convergence
Chromatography™ (UPC
2
®) system, the CM-30S provides automated,
programmable switching between columns, facilitating method development.
You can also include the CM-30S in an Advanced Polymer Chromatography™
(APC™) system. Doing so gives the system the flexibility to use GPC columns,
which can be necessary for supporting legacy methods. When the CM-30S
operates as part of an APC system, switching valves in the primary column
manager, the ACQUITY Single-Zone Column Manager (CM-S), perform
automated column-bank switching.
