Typical column stabilizer:
The column stabilizer’s passive design lends itself to lower flow rate and
higher volume applications. If you are running an HPLC or UPLC method
that was originally developed for use with a column stabilizer, you must
continue to use the column stabilizer when you run that method on the
ACQUITY UPLC system.
Requirement: You must remove the active preheater assembly before
installing the column stabilizer assembly.
For instructions on how to replace the column stabilizer assembly, see
page 133.
Warning: To prevent burn injuries, set the column temperature to Off,
and then allow the column compartment and its components to cool for
60 minutes before touching them. Monitor the column compartment
internal temperature to ensure all components are cool.
Caution: To prevent contaminating system components, wear clean,
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when installing the optional
column stabilizer assembly.
