Introduction Operating Principle The optical principle of the Max-Light Cartridge cell is based on opto-fluidic waveguides. Nearly 100 % light transmission is achieved by utilizing total internal reflection in a non-coated silica fiber. Compromising refractive index and thermal effects are almost completely eliminated, resulting in significantly less baseline drift.

Optimizing the Performance of the Module Optimization Overview Due to the larger dispersion volume, the 60 mm cell is primarily designed for 4.6 mm column applications to achieve highest sensitivity with no additional peak broadening. However, if sensitivity is important the 60 mm cell will also be advantageous in case of smaller columns (3 mm, 2.1 mm) but depending on the chromatographic system and method additional peak broadening might occur.

LAN Configuration Manual Configuration ag-textnode-version-id: 9007202781250955 ag-textnode-base-id: 3526509963 Manual Configuration Manual configuration only alters the set of parameters stored in the non-volatile memory of the module. It never affects the currently active parameters. Therefore, manual configuration can be done at any time. A power cycle is mandatory to make the stored parameters become the active parameters, given that the initialization mode selection switches are allowing it.

Appendix Material Information resistance to high-temperature oxidation. Due to excellent chemical resistance and toughness, the alloy is used in diverse applications: dental products, medical devices, nonmagnetic electrical components, chemical and food processing equipment, marine equipment. Treatment of MP35N alloy samples with 10 % NaCl in HCl (pH 2.0 ) does not reveal any detectable corrosion.

Appendix Material Information When used above room temperature, PEEK is sensitive to bases and various organic solvents, which can cause it to swell. Under such conditions, normal PEEK capillaries are sensitive to high pressure. Therefore, Agilent uses stainless steel clad PEEK capillaries in bio-inert systems. The use of stainless steel clad PEEK capillaries keeps the flow path free of steel and ensures pressure stability up to 600 bar.

Appendix Material Information Titanium is subject to corrosion in anhydrous methanol, which can be avoided by adding a small amount of water (about 3 %). Slight corrosion is possible with ammonia > 10 %. Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Diamond-Like Carbon is inert to almost all common acids, bases, and solvents. There are no documented incompatibilities for HPLC applications.
Appendix Material Information Fluorinated Polymers (PTFE, PFA, FEP, FFKM, PVDF) Fluorinated polymers like PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene), PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) are inert to almost all common acids, bases, and solvents. FFKM is perfluorinated rubber, which is also resistant to most chemicals.
