Positioning The Detector In The Ultimate 3000 System - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

3.3 Positioning the Detector in the UltiMate 3000 System

If the detector is part of an UltiMate 3000 system, for example, for analytical HPLC
applications, you should stack the individual modules. However, the arrangement of the
system modules depends on the application.
• In a standard system with only one detector, where all modules are stacked, the
fluorescence detector is always the bottom module.
• In a system that includes a UV detector in addition to the fluorescence detector, the
modules can be arranged as shown in Fig. 7.
Fig. 7: Module arrangement for an UltiMate 3000 RS system with two detectors (example)
Left from top to bottom: SR-3000 solvent rack, LPG-3400RS pump, WPS-3000TRS
autosampler
Right from top to bottom: FLD-3400RS fluorescence detector, UV detector
(VWD-3400RS or DAD-300RS), TCC-3000RS thermostatted column compartment
Tip: As the flow cell of the fluorescence detector has a pressure limit of 20 bar
(analytical flow cell) or 40 bar (micro flow cell), the fluorescence detector
must always be the last module in the fluidic path.
Refer to section 3.4.2 for information how to connect the USB ports on the rear panels.
