Page 13 Introduction Operating Principle phase). In a flowthrough temperature regulation system, there are necessarily slightly different temperatures at different positions. The actual temperature displayed on the user interface is always the temperature measured at the heating and cooling device. The equilibration of the column may take a while. Stability of the pressure signal is a good indication for temperature equilibrium of the column.

Introduction Typical Applications ag-textnode-version-id: 9007203236583051 ag-textnode-base-id: 3981842059 Typical Applications The interconnection of ports at particular valve position strongly depends on the NOTE combination of valve and module. The software user interface always displays the correct situation. A method modification or re-plumbing of the connections is typically required if transferring methods from G1316A/B/C to G7116A/B, G1170A or G4227A.

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.
Page 225 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.
Page 226 Appendix Material Information Stainless Steel (SST) Stainless steel is inert against many common solvents. It is stable in the presence of acids and bases in a pH range of 1 to 12.5 . It can be corroded by acids below pH 2.3 . It can also corrode in following solvents: •...
Page 227 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.
Page 228 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.
