How to Achieve Higher Sensitivity
Choosing a Flow Cell
Several flavors of the Max- Light Cartridge Flow Cell are available, see
(Table 7 on page 63).
Normal Applications
The Max- Light Cartridge Cell ( 10 mm, V(s) 1.0 µL) (G4212- 60008) covers
a wide range of applications:
• all column diameter down to at least 2.1 mm ID or even less
• applications with peak dispersion (Peakwidth x flow) down to ~2µL
[example: pw = 0.04 min at flow = 0.1 mL/min gives peak dispersion of
0.04 min x 0.1 mL/min = 0.004 mL = 4 µL]
High Sensitiviy
If higher sensitivity is necessary, the Max- Light Cartridge Cell ( 60 mm,
V(s) 4.0 µL) (G4212- 60007) can be used. This cell enhances the detector
by lowering the limit of detection (LOD) by a factor of about 3 (depending
on the application).
