The separations module controls parameters that influence a
chromatographic separation. You can program the values of these parameters
to change from method to method without setting up the instrument before
each run.
Spill protection
All fluid-handling areas of the separations module can contain spills. Spilled
solvent drains to the waste line connectors located below the front panel. A
drip tray for the top cover provides leak protection for the separations module
when a detector is placed atop it. A solvent bottle tray, which provides storage
for solvent reservoirs and wash solvent reservoirs, also provides leak
protection for a spill.
Record-keeping functions
The separations module automatically records the following information:
•
System errors
•
Programmed operating conditions for each run
You can print this information on an attached printer, or transfer it to an
external device using the RS-232 port.
