Optional ISM kits

Several optional ISM kits provide for flow splitting and post-column addition.
The flow-splitter kits allow you to adjust the amount of analytical flow diluted
and diverted to the QDa detector. Four splitter kits are available, each specific
to a Waters instrument class:
• ACQUITY
• Alliance
• ACQUITY UPC
• ACQUITY UPC
The Post-column Addition kit is used to add additional liquid to the analytical
flow stream before it enters the QDa detector. This kit is compatible with
ACQUITY UPLC and Alliance systems.
Description
Draws solvent, transferring it to the accumulator
pump and system as part of the serial flow design.
Indicates the ISM status.
Degasses the purge solvent which then flows through
the sample manager.
Vacuum degassing can change the composition
Note:
of mixed solvents.
The pump that circulates solvent, to keep the
actuators' high-pressure seals free of contaminants.
Conducts seal-wash waste to a waste vessel.
A valve that allows selection of up to six different
solvents used isocratically.
Tubing that vents solvent to waste during priming.
A valve that automatically switches to waste during
priming and a block position during the leak test.
