Solvent Line Monitor
...for liquid chromatography and dispensing protocols.
Running out of solvent when running an HPLC or any other liquid chromatography system is a problem most separation scientists will have encountered. Your chromatograph running out of solvent can lead to loss of data, need to re-prime the pump / system downtime and often necessitates system re-validation to make sure the obtained results are within expected limits. The Solvent Line Monitor is designed to eliminate this problem, without any user input or need for regular resetting. The Solvent Line Monitor runs independently and is fully compatible with almost any liquid chromatograph.
Another commonly experienced problem in liquid chromatography systems can arise from unexpected air or gas bubbles. The presence of bubbles or microbubbles can result in changes in retention times, pulsating baselines, unexpected changes in peak areas, irregular peak shapes, pump outages and excessively high back pressures. Connected to a liquid chromatograph pump feed line, the Solvent Line Monitor will non-invasively check the status of liquid flows for air / gas bubbles and stop operation if any are detected thereby increasing the performance reproducibility and reliability of any liquid chromatography or flow chemistry system.
