How to simplify HPLC using low-pressure valves. Rheodyne's Technical Note 3 shows eight ways of using lowpressure switching valves to simplify method development and routine analysis in high-pressure liquid chromatography These economical 2-position and 6-position Teflon valves can be inserted before the pump or after the column. Among uses described in detail are switching between reservoirs to select the correct mobile phase for a particular routine analysis. Switching between several different solvents during method development when seeking maximum selectivity. Switching to a flushing solvent. Switching effluent back to the reservoir to conserve solvent. And switching effluent to a fraction collector
Sichromat 2 Laboratory GC has two analytical chambers that can be programmed to operate at two different temperatures over the range —150 to 400 °C. A lifting jacket on the oven is controlled as a function of the heating power for the desired temperature of the separation column chamber. The separation column arrangement can be arbitrarily extended. Instrument features include short-stroke pneumatics, microprocessor control, modularly designed injectors and detectors, and compatibility with chart recorders, printer/plotters, or large computers. Inter-oven barrier can be removed to double oven size. The GC can be equipped with eight different detectors and injectors in any sequence desired. Siemens 407
