how to order them.
Split ratio
The split ratio depends on various factors including, but not limited to, all
flow-path components downstream of the split and chromatographic
conditions (flow rate and solvent composition for both LC and make-up flows).
Restrictor modules in the ACQUITY UPLC and Alliance flow-splitter kits are
used to tune the magnitude of the split ratio. The numeric labels on the
restrictor modules correspond to the magnitude of the split ratio, as shown in
the following tables. Restrictor modules with higher numeric labels result in
higher split ratios.
