About this manual

The ZORBAX Reliance Cartridge Guard-Column Series is designed to provide cost-effective protection for high-performance analytical columns. These cartridges are packed with 5 µm ZORBAX packing of identical chemistry to the analytical columns and feature PPS polymeric tubing that is more solvent-resistant than PEEK. They are available in 2.1 mm ID and 4.6 mm ID sizes with press-fit porous frits and are engineered to seal at high pressures without requiring gaskets.

The document provides assembly instructions using the Reliance Guard-Column Hardware Kit, which includes a low-volume holder, end fitting, and column connector. It also outlines operational guidelines, such as maintaining a mobile-phase pH between 2 and 8 (3 to 8.5 for Diol), operating temperatures up to 80°C, and specific flushing procedures to ensure optimum column performance and longevity.
