Guard columns protect separation columns and significantly increase their
service life. The guard columns available from Metrohm are either actual
guard columns or guard column cartridges used together with a cartridge
holder. The process of installing a guard column cartridge into the corre-
sponding holder is described in the guard column leaflet.
NOTICE
Metrohm recommends always working with guard columns. They pro-
tect the separation columns and can be replaced regularly as needed.
NOTICE
Information regarding which guard column is suitable for your separa-
tion column can be found in the Metrohm Column Program (which
is available from your Metrohm representative), the column leaflet and
the the product information at
tography product area), or it can be obtained directly from your repre-
sentative.
CAUTION
New guard columns are filled with a solution and sealed with stoppers
or caps on both sides.
Before inserting the guard column, ensure that this solution can be
mixed with the eluent being used (follow the information provided by
the manufacturer).
NOTICE
The guard column may not be connected until after the instrument has
already been put into operation once (see chapter 3.18, page 47). The
guard column and the separation column have to be replaced by a cou-
pling (6.2744.040) until then.
