| On-the-Fly LC Column Selection |
Overview
This configuration allows the automatic selection of different analytical columns during the run or between batches. This can be run directly from within Analyst using a custom Cycle (requires ICC-CE)[1]. Up to 5 columns can be selected from.
This allows users to select methods using the appropriate column for their assay and convenient washing and column storage. Columns are stored in the storage solvent of choice requiring no manual changes. Different types of samples can be run overnight using different methods resulting in better utilization of existing equipment. Can be used in method development,
