Depending on the number of detectors in your system, you can connect the inlet capillary to the nebulizer as follows:
Configuration | Inlet capillary connected to the nebulizer |
|---|---|
Charged aerosol detector is the only detector in the system | Directly from the column |
Charged aerosol detector is the second detector in the system | From the flow cell of a first detector, such as the diode array detector, in the Vanquish system flow path. In this series liquid flow connection , one flow path from the pump is used for both detectors installed in the system. |
Parts required
Inlet capillary for connection to the nebulizer (shipped with the detector)
TIP
Keep the capillary connection to the charged aerosol detector as short as possible to minimize peak broadening effects.
Preparations
Flush the system modules and capillaries upstream of the detector to waste thoroughly before you connect the detector to the system flow path. Refer to the Vanquish System Operating Manual.
On the nebulizer, remove the plug from the nebulizer flow inlet.
Follow these steps
Route and connect the capillary to the nebulizer as required by the system arrangement:
Configuration | Step | See |
|---|---|---|
Charged aerosol detector is the only detector in the system | Connect the capillary between column and nebulizer | |
Charged aerosol detector is the second detector in the system | Connect the capillary between flow cell and nebulizer |
