Cell Test Evaluation
The Agilent ChemStation calculates the intensity ratio automatically. The
intensity ratio (typically between 0.5 and 0.7 for new standard flow cells and
0.1 to 0.3 for new mico- and high pressure cells) is dependent on the degree of
contamination of the flow cell windows, and on the type of flow cell used.

This test can be used for the standard flow cells only. The nano flow cells will give very low
N O T E
values due to their design.
