The instrument contains the following components:
Eluent degasser
The eluent degasser removes gas bubbles and dissolved gases from the
eluent. For degassing, the eluent flows into a vacuum chamber through a
special fluoropolymer capillary.
High pressure pump
The intelligent and low pulsation high pressure pump pumps the eluent
through the system. It is equipped with a chip on which its technical spec-
ifications and "life history" (operating hours, service data, ... ) are saved.
Inline filter
Inline filters protect the separation column securely against possible con-
tamination from the eluent. Inline filters can however also just as well be
used for the purpose of protecting other sensitive components against
contaminations in the solutions used. The fine 2 µm material of the readily
and easily replaceable filter platelets removes particles such as bacteria
and algae from the solutions.
Pulsation damper
The pulsation damper protects the separation column from damage
caused by pressure fluctuations when switching the injection valve, and
reduces interfering pulsations during highly sensitive measurements.
Sample degasser
The sample degasser removes gas bubbles and disolved gases from the
sample. For degassing, the sample flows into a vacuum chamber through
a special fluoropolymer capillary.
