Temperature Stabilizers (Optional)
Installation of a temperature stabilizer (standard bore, P/N 064548;
microbore, P/N 064650) ensures that (a) the temperature of the stationary
phase remains constant over the total column length and (b) the column and
the eluent have the same temperature during the analysis.
When these conditions are met, the analytical separation is performed at the
nominal temperature. This minimizes fronting and tailing of peaks, as well as
retention time variations.
Column ID Chip Card Slots
The TC column ID (identification) system lets you store column-specific
information on a memory card and read the information at any time. Up to
four column ID chip cards can be installed at the same time. The TC is
shipped with two column ID chip cards (P/N 5710.1500). An optional
Column ID Kit (P/N 066353) containing five chip cards is available.
See Section 2.24
