REACTOR
• Heated reactor for temperature from 5° C
above ambient to 130° C
• Easy replacement coil cartridges
• Range of reactor dwell volumes;
0.1 mL to 3mL
• Reaction coil withstands up to 42 bar
(600 psi) inlet pressure at 130° C
• Thermal safety switch limits temperature
to 150° C to prevent damage
• Fast response
SAFEGUARDS
• In-line check valve: Prevents reagent
back flow into the column when
HPLC pressure drops
• Replaceable filters prevent column
and reagent fouling
• Post-column system over pressure:
A pre-calibrated relief valve opens at
35 bar (500 psi) to prevent rupture of the
post-column reactor tubing in the event of
down-stream blockage
• Back-pressure regulator: Applies 7 bar
(100 psi) to the detector flow cell outlet
(waste) to prevent detector noise and
precipitation due to out-gassing or boiling
