A large number of the capillary connections are already connected at the time the instrument is delivered. The 850 Professional IC – Anion – MSM-HC – MCS – LP Gradient is sup- plied the same way as an isocratic instrument, i.e. it can be put into oper- ation with minimum effort for usage with only one eluent.
