Selecting an NPD Jet
Open the oven door and locate the column connection fitting
at the base of the detector. It will look like either a capillary
optimized fitting or an adaptable fitting.
• If you have an application that tends to clog the jet, select
a jet with a wider tip id.
• When using packed columns in high column- bleed
applications, the jet tends to clog with silicon dioxide.
For capillary optimized fittings, select one of the following
from Table 43.
For adaptable fittings, select one of the following from
Table 44.
