Table 16. Column Insertion Depth For FID, NPD, TCD, ECD, FPD, and PDD Detectors
FID NPD
Insert the column as far as goes and withdrawn
about 2mm
i. For FID, NPD, TCD, insert the column into the detector, paying attention to
not force it further. Finger-tighten the retaining nut, then withdraw the column
2-3 mm. Tighten the retaining nut an additional a quarter turn.
ii. For ECD and FPD, insert the notched septum on the column to hold the
retaining nut in this position. Thread the retaining nut into the detector but do
not tighten.
Finger-tighten the retaining nut until it starts to grip the column plus a quarter
turn. Remove the notched septum from the column.
g. For PDD the column must penetrate 136 mm inside the capillary column adapter.
Note When inserting the capillary column into the PDD detector it might rarely
happen to feel a slight resistance. In this case, for proper column installation, pull
the column out slightly and adjust the angle before inserting it further.
IMPORTANT To install a packed column, the pre-installed capillary column adapter must
be replaced with the packed columns adapter that enters into the PDD cell for the correct
length.
26. End of the column installation.
a. Close the front door of the GC.
