The modular arrangement of this analyser enables its application with several electrophoretic modes of operation e.g.
Users can choose to work with traditional columns (employing contact conductivity detectors) or alternatively take advantage of our updated columns which employ contactless conductivity detectors (less sensitivity and a higher price but with increased lifetimes).
Columns for the first and second dimension are named ‘pre-separation' and ‘analytical' columns respectively. Pre-separation columns employ FEP capillaries (i.d 0.8 mm) and are available in several lengths (see Acessories). Each analytical column is equipped with an adapter (SMA or 2 mm JM) for connection with optical fibres to the UV detection facility. The standard package includes an in-built UV detector with 4 wavelengths, however a variable wavelength or DAD UV detector can be purchased as an optional extra.
The standard and most basic version of the instrument is equipped with an ITP injection valve, 2 columns and modules for manual filling of electrolytes.
