Procedure: Installing capillary columns in the FPD
The FPD uses an adaptable fitting that can use both packed and capillary
columns. If your adaptable fitting does not have a capillary adapter installed,
begin with step 1. If the capillary adapter is already installed in your adaptable
fitting, begin with step 5.
The FPD uses a special adapter for capillary columns. The FPD Capillary
Adapter, part number 19256-80570, allows fused silica columns as large as
530 mm ID to be run right to the base of the FPD flame, minimizing sample tailing
or loss of chemically active sites.
