1. Will the Photochemical Reactor enhance my separations? [top]
The Photochemical Reactor is designed not to change the selectivity of your HPLC column but to increase the
signal response of the separated compounds using your current UV, Fluorescence or Electrochemical detectors.
2. Can I use other UV wavelengths with the Photochemical Reactor? [top]
Yes, you can purchase from MicroSolv, a replacement UV lamp for the Photochemical Reactor that emits mostly a
366nm wavelength. This lamp is completely compatible with all knitted reactor coils.
3. What is the pressure rating of the knitted reactor coils (KRC)? [top]
The knitted reactor coils are rated to hold 300 psig. After time and extended use, this rating may be
significantly reduced.
4. What is the knitted reactor coils made from? [top]
The knitted reactor coils are made of virgin, medical grade PTFE (a form of Teflon).
5. Can the knitted reactor coils be heated or cooled? [top]
Yes, you can use one of the MicroSolv HPLC Column Water Jackets and pump heated or cooled liquid through it.
6. How can I change the reaction time of the KRC? [top]
The reaction time can be changed by changing the inner diameter and length of the KRC.
7. Are there any solvents that I cannot use with the KRC and KDT? [top]
Yes, you cannot use any perfluorinated solvents with them.
8. What is the maximum Temperature that the KRC and KDT can be used? [top]
200°C.
