Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual page 26

UltiMate 3000 Series:
NCS-3500RS and NCP-3200RS
♦ As a standard, the pump module is equipped with an active rear seal wash system
(→ page 29).
♦ The technical specification meets the highest requirements for flow rate
reproducibility, zero pulsation, and operational reliability (→ page 235).
• Key features of the column compartment
♦ The column chamber can be equipped with one or two column switching valves.
♦ The column chamber provides room for all columns, trap columns, and capillaries
required for nano LC and capillary LC applications.
♦ The column chamber and all components inside the chamber can be warmed up to
temperatures of +7 °C above ambient to 75 °C.
♦ Thermoelectric elements heat the column chamber and all internal components to the
preferred temperature (settable in 0.1 °C increments). Using a heat exchanger, they
allow fast temperature changes and ensure independence from the ambient
temperature.
♦ The columns can be warmed up to max. 75 °C. At an ambient temperature of 25 °C,
an increase in temperature from 35 °C to 65 °C is typically realized in 12 minutes.
♦ Temperature control allows keeping the column temperature constant within the
specified range. The maximum deviation is ± 0.1 °C.
♦ An electronic column identification module allows GLP-compliant documentation
of the column type and all important column parameters (→ page 34).
• Various monitoring and diagnostic features are provided for optimum system
performance and reliability (→ page 36).
• The module is designed for easy access to the fluid components, allowing fast and
reliable maintenance while the module remains in the UltiMate 3000 system stack.
• For the secure and functional positioning of the solvent reservoirs on top of the module
and for high efficiency solvent degassing, the Solvent Racks of the UltiMate 3000 series
are available (→ page 20).
• The module can be fully controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management
System, providing a high degree of system integration.
• All parts that may be exposed to solvents are made of materials that provide optimum
resistance to the most commonly used HPLC solvents and buffer solutions.
