2.9.1 General information on separating columns
The precolumn that is suitable for your separating column can be
found in the Metrohm IC Column Catalog, the product information
about separating columns that can be found under
http://www.metrohm.com , ion chromatography products, or let your
agency advise you directly.
New IC separating columns are normally filled with solution and
sealed at both ends. Before the column is installed in the system, it
must be ensured that this solution is freely miscible with the eluent
used (check manufacturer's specifications).
The separating columns currently available from Metrohm and precol-
umns can be found in the Metrohm IC Column Catalog, or on the
Internet under http://www.metrohm.com in the ion chromatography
product section. Each column is supplied with a test chromatogram
and a data sheet. More detailed information about special IC applica-
tions can be found in the relevant "Application Bulletins" or "Applica-
tion Notes"; these are available on the Internet under
http://www.metrohm.com in the applications sector, or can be re-
quested free of charge from your local Metrohm agency.
When you install the column, always ensure that this is inserted cor-
rectly in accordance with the flow direction shown.
