Location of the Detector Module
Location of the Detector Module
Place the detector conveniently near your HPLC system. The modular design of
the ELSD enables you to locate it anywhere within the limitations imposed by the
length of the power cord, fluid lines, and signal cables.
To keep liquid dead volume as low as possible and to minimize peak broadening
in the lines, the distance between the column outlet and the flow cell inlet should
be kept to a minimum.
Provide approximately 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind the unit so that the
cooling fan intake is not impeded, and to allow easy access to the rear panel.
The ELS detector can be placed within 2 m of an extraction unit, using the
exhaust tube provided.
