Thermo Scientific QDC 300 Quick Start

Charge detector cell

To ensure proper operation of the QDC 300 follow the instructions below. Refer to the ICS 4000 manual and the

QDC 300 manual for detailed operation guidelines.

Do not attempt to disassemble the QDC 300; it may result in irreversible

damage.

WARNING

The QDC 300 should be installed after the Conductivity (CD) background on

the system is ≤ 2 µS/cm.

NOTE

Hydration and start up of QDC

The QDC 300 is shipped dry and should be hydrated prior to use. This process ensures that the QDC 300

membranes are fully hydrated and ready for operation. Figure 1A shows the top view of the QDC 300 as

shipped with the "ELUENT IN" line plumbed to the "REGEN OUT" port of the QDC 300. Figure 1B shows the

bottom view of the QDC 300 with the ball stud and connector required for installing the QDC 300.
