Agilent PLgel MiniMIX Columns Technical Overview, introduces the features of Agilent PLgel MiniMIX Columns, including high performance, excellent solvent compatibility and mechanical stability, as well as reduced solvent consumption, increased operator safety and reduced solvent disposal costs.
Agilent PLgel MiniMIX columns are narrow bore GPC columns designed to offer high performance, excellent solvent compatibility, and mechanical stability. They provide benefits comparable to conventional ID columns, including a significant reduction in solvent consumption, increased operator safety, and lower disposal costs.
To maintain the same linear velocity through the column, the volumetric flow rate must be reduced in line with the column cross-sectional area. This adjustment allows for significantly lower solvent consumption while minimizing system dead volume to avoid excessive band broadening.
| Column ID | 4.6 mm |
|---|---|
| Conventional Column ID | 7.5 mm |
| Flow rate for 4.6 mm ID | 0.3 mL/min |
| Flow rate for 7.5 mm ID | 1.0 mL/min |
| Solvent consumption reduction | ~ 70 % |
| Specific reduction for 4.6 mm vs 7.5 mm | 62 % |
They offer high performance, excellent solvent compatibility, mechanical stability, and a significant reduction in solvent consumption.
Yes, they can be used with conventional GPC equipment and provide high performance comparable to conventional ID columns.
It represents a 62 % reduction in solvent consumption when running at equivalent linear velocities.
