Intended Use - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

UltiMate 3000 Series:
Fluorescence Detectors FLD-3100 and FLD-3400RS

1.3 Intended Use

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. The device is designed to be
operated only be qualified and authorized personnel. All users must know the hazards
presented by the device and the used substances.
The detector is designed for laboratory research use in high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) or ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)
applications. It is part of the UltiMate 3000 system, but can be used also with other HPLC
systems if adequate control inputs and outputs are available.
The detector can be controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System.
Being part of the UltiMate 3000 system, the detector can also be operated with other data
systems, such as
• Xcalibur™, Compass™/HyStar™, or Analyst
Scientific Dionex Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Link) software is required in
addition to the installation of the data system.
• Empower™. Installation of the Thermo Scientific Dionex Instrument Integration
Software is required in addition to the installation of the data system.
For more information, contact the Thermo Fisher Scientific sales organization for Dionex
HPLC Products.
Keep the following in mind:
• Note that the detector may be operated only with accessories and spare parts
recommended by Thermo Fisher Scientific (→ page 119) and within its technical
specifications (→ page 117).
• Note the special properties of the solvents, such as the viscosity, boiling point, and UV
absorption (UV/VIS detector). Also observe the information about the solvent
compatibility of the other UltiMate 3000 system modules. For more information, refer to
the Operating Instructions for the modules.
• Buffer concentration: Typically up to 1 mol/L (< 0.1 mol/L chloride ions).
• Also observe the information about the solvent compatibility and buffer concentrations of
the other UltiMate 3000 system modules. For more information, refer to the Operating
Instructions for the modules.
