Special Information for Bio-Inert Cartridge Flow Cells
For bio-inert applications use the specified BIO Max-Light Cartridge Flow Cell
only.
Both bio-inert Max-Light Cartridge Flow Cells include
• PEEK tubing 1/16” (0890-1763) and
• Fingertight fitting long (5062-8541)
Recommendations
Assure the following:
• The capillary ends are right-angled when cutting capillaries.
• No pliers or wrenches are used to fix the PEEK fittings at the flow cell.
• No metal ferrules are used at the cell unions to prevent contaminations and
damage.
• the flow cell is bypassed when flush procedures at pH > 12.5 are used.
Application Information
For the analysis and characterization of proteins and large biomolecules for
SEC, AEX and RP applications add 100 mM salt into mobile phase or 10 %
organic to prevent secondary interaction.
For cation exchange chromatography the usage of an Agilent 1260 Infinity
Diode Array Detector G1315C/D with the respective bio-inert flow cell is
highly recommended to avoid unspecific interaction of the protein with the
flow cell.
For applications with mobile phases of a pH above 12.5 use an Agilent 1260
Infinity Diode Array Detector G1315C/D and the respective bio-inert flow cell.
