Charged Aerosol Detectors (VH-D20, VF-D20)
Operating Manual
• Be aware of the pressure limit of the flow cell in the optical detector,
especially the pressure limit of the LightPipe™ flow cell. Connect the
capillary from the flow cell directly to the nebulizer. Avoid
connecting any additional components in the flow path between the
two detectors. Refer to the Operating Manual for your optical
detector.
• If you want to bypass the flow cell, use the Viper union to
interconnect the capillary from the column with the capillary
connected to the nebulizer. Keep the capillary connection as short as
possible to minimize peak broadening effects.
• See Connecting the Inlet Capillary to the Nebulizer
• Observe all notes and specifications for the flow cell in the first
detector in the Vanquish system. Refer to the Operating Manual for
this detector.
1. Connect the inlet capillary from the column compartment to the
flow cell inlet of the first detector. Refer to the instructions in the
Operating Manual for the first detector in the Vanquish system flow
path.
2. Route the transfer capillary (inlet capillary from the detector ship kit)
from the flow cell outlet of the first detector upward to the charged
aerosol detector.
3. On the leak tray of the charged aerosol detector, pull the capillary
clip carefully to the right to open the clip.
4. Position the capillary behind the capillary clip.
5. Carefully release the clip and take care not to clamp the capillary.
The capillary must be secured behind the clip.
