Note that the inlet tubing of 0.06 mm (or 0.3 mm) preparative UV cell does not have a fixed length 
(the tubing 0.5x800 or 0.8x2000 mm provided should be cut before use). UV inlet tubing cell vol-
ume has to be adjusted in the table.

The inlet tubing of the 0.06 mm (or the 0.3 mm) Preparative UV flow cell does not have a 
fixed length. We suggest that you cut the 0.5 × 800 mm and 0.8 × 2000 mm tubing 
provided before use.
