The Temperature section allows you to set the temperature of the thermostatically-controlled column compartment. The column compartment contains a heated column supports that is also used to preheat the solvents.
HPLC columns are normally run at ambient temperature, although increased separation efficiency can be obtained at higher temperatures due to the lowering of viscosities and the corresponding increase of diffusion rates of solutes in the mobile and stationary phases.
Select the Not controlled option to deactivate the temperature control.
Select the middle option to control the temperature; enter the required temperature in the adjacent field.
Limits: 10 to 80°C in steps of 0.1°C
Select the Unchanged option to leave the temperature setting unchanged. The setting that is currently stored in the instrument is retained.
