Caution
New separation columns are filled with solution and are sealed on both
sides with stoppers. Before using the column, you need to ensure that
this solution is miscible with the eluents used (observe manufacturer's
data).
You can find the separation columns and guard columns currently availa-
ble from Metrohm in the Metrohm IC Column Program, or in the Internet
at
http://www.metrohm.com in the product area Ion Chromatography. A
test chromatogram and an leaflet are provided along with each column.
You can request detailed information on special IC applications in the cor-
responding "Application Bulletins" or "Application Notes", available
in the Internet at
http://www.metrohm.com in the Applications area or via
the Metrohm agent responsible free of charge.
Note
The separation column may only be installed after the initial start-up
(see Chapter 4.1, page 57) of the instrument. Until then, use the cou-
pling (6.2744.040) instead of the guard and separation column.
