Agilent 971-FP Flash Purification System IntelliFlash Guide Me Scale-Up Feature Guide
The document describes the 'Scale Up' feature within the IntelliFlash software for the Agilent 971-FP Flash Purification System. This feature allows users to transfer method details between Agilent SuperFlash columns of different sizes while maintaining compound purity and yield, without requiring manual calculations of column dimensions or flow rates.
The guide details the mathematical principles behind the scaling process, specifically the equations used to calculate flow rate for the same linear velocity and gradient duration for different column lengths. It provides instructions on how to use the software interface to select historical runs or specify parameters to automatically generate new run conditions for scaled-up separations.

Questions answered in these manuals
How does dual detection prevent sample loss?
It allows the isolation of non-UV active compounds that would otherwise remain undetected by a UV detector alone.
