3 Inlets
The S/SL inlet pulsed split and splitless modes
The pressure pulse modes increase inlet pressure just before the
beginning of a run and return it to the normal value after a
specified amount of time. The pressure pulse:
• reduces the solvent vapor volume
• reduces the risk of inlet overload
• tightens the sample band
• may allow use of a 2 mm liner, reducing the active glass area
If your chromatography is degraded by the pressure pulse, a
retention gap may help restore peak shape.
