Choosing a Flow Cell

Several flavors of the Max-Light Cartridge Flow Cell are available, see
on page 80).

Normal Applications
The Max-Light Cartridge Cell ( 10 mm, V(σ) 1.0 μL) (G4212-60008) covers a
wide range of applications:
• all column diameter down to at least 2.1 mm ID or even less
• applications with peak dispersion (Peakwidth x flow) down to ~2 μL
High Sensitiviy
If higher sensitivity is necessary, the Max-Light Cartridge Cell ( 60 mm,
V(σ) 4.0 μL) (G4212-60007) can be used. This cell enhances the detector by
lowering the limit of detection (LOD) by a factor of about 3 (depending on the
application).

70 bar (1015 psi) Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP)
150 bar (2175 psi) Maximum Incidential Pressure (MIP)
1.0-12.5 (solvent dependent)
Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP): The maximum pressure at which the system can operate
continuously under normal conditions.
Maximum Incidential Pressure (MIP): The maximum pressure which the system can experience
during a short time.
[example: pw = 0.04 min at flow = 0.1 mL/min gives peak dispersion of
0.04 min x 0.1 mL/min = 0.004 mL = 4 μL]
