4.3 Fluidic Connections
4.3.1 Connecting the Detector and the Column
Typical connection between this equipment and the column is described in this
section.
(1) Cut the piping tube (SUS Tube 1.6 x 0.3, standard accessory) at the length
necessary for connecting the column outlet and the cell inlet pipe (pipe with
blue tape) of this equipment.
Cut the tube perpendicular. If the tube is cut diagonally, dead volume is
generated to deteriorate separation.
(2) Connect the piping between the column and the cell inlet pipe with the
supplied male PEEK nut and the male to male union as shown in the figure
below. Tighten the male PEEK nut by the hand firmly. It is not necessary to
use a tool for tightening.
Please note:
Insert the piping tube into the column joint and the male to male
union securely until it comes to the end and then tighten the
male PEEK nut. Similarly, insert the cell inlet pipe until it comes
to the end and tighten the male PEEK nut so that dead volume
is avoided.
4.3.2 Detector Outlet Side Piping
(1) Prepare a waste liquid bottle.
(2) Connect the male to male union and the Tefzel tube (standard accessories of
this product) to the cell outlet pipe and put the other end in the waste liquid
bottle, as shown in the figure.
Please note:
Pressure tolerance of the cell is 1960 kPa {20kgf/cm
2
} (Value in
{} is for reference). Pressure exceeding this level may cause
leak of liquid or damage of the cell. To prevent such troubles,
pay attention to the following points:
