The second pump in the DP can be operated as a second-channel
chromatography pump, an auxiliary dependent pump, or an auxiliary
independent pump.
Capillary IC pumps operate at flow rates ranging from 0.001 to 3.0 mL/min

and operating pressures up to 41 MPa (6000 psi) (without RFIC) and up to
35 MPa (5000 psi) (with RFIC).
IMPORTANT
Capillary IC pumps shipped before February 17, 2011 were rated for lower
operating pressures than the pumps currently being shipped. The older
pumps can be operated at pressures up to 35 MPa (5000 psi) (without
RFIC) and up to 21 MPa (3000 psi) (with RFIC). Before operating at
pressures above these limits, verify that you have the appropriate pump.
•
HPC is stamped on the secondary
pump heads of the older (lower
pressure rated) capillary IC pumps.
•
HPC-2 is stamped on the secondary
pump heads of the newer (higher
pressure rated) capillary IC pumps.
A Capillary Pump High-Pressure Upgrade Kit (P/N 075994) is available
for converting a lower pressure rated capillary IC pump to a higher
pressure rated pump. The kit includes the HPC-2 secondary pump head and
high-pressure pump seals.
NOTE
A high-pressure EG degas (capillary) cartridge (P/N 074459) is
also required when operating a capillary RFIC system at pressures
up to 35 MPa (5000 psi). For details, see
