The fundamental requirement for a column compartment for liquid chromatography applications is the ability to maintain the set temperature as precisely as possible. The advanced design of the column compartment enables the column chamber to maintain the temperature with a precision of ±0.1 °C.
To obtain good measurement results, temperature stability is more important than the temperature accuracy. The column compartment provides a temperature stability of ±0.05 °C.
Heating elements heat up the column chamber and the internal components to the set temperature. The optimized design enables an even air flow.
This ensures the following:
The temperature of the stationary phase remains constant over the total column length.
The column and the eluent have the same temperature during analysis.
The analytical separation is performed at the set temperature.
