4.13.2

Installing adsorption cartridges

The suctioned air has to have the lowest CO

2

content possible in order for

the CO

2

to be removed from the eluent as efficiently as possible. In order

to achieve this, the air is aspirated through a CO

2

adsorption cartridge

(6.2837.000).

However, the CO

2

adsorption cartridge is sensitive to humidity; the CO

2

adsorption cartridge becomes clogged when wet. In order to protect the
CO

2

adsorption cartridge, an H

2

O adsorption cartridge (6.2837.010) is

also installed.

Accessories

For this step you need the following accessories:

Adsorption cartridge holder (6.2057.080) with 4 clips, an adapter
(6.1808.190) and a piece of PVC tubing.
