Temperature programming
The NPD is flow sensitive. If you are using temperature
programming, in which the column flow resistance changes
with temperature, set up the instrument as follows:
• Set the carrier gas in the Constant flow mode. Set detector
makeup gas to Constant makeup.
• If you choose to work in the constant pressure mode, the
makeup gas should be set in the Column +makeup=constant
mode.
NPD required gas purity
Because of its high sensitivity, the NPD requires very pure
(at least 99.9995%) gases. We strongly recommend that
moisture and organics traps be used on the carrier gas and
