Can I use other UV wavelengths with the HPLC post column, photochemical reactor?
Yes, you can purchase from MicroSolv, a replacement UV lamp for the post column photochemical reactor that emits mostly a 366nm wavelength. This lamp is completely compatible with all knitted reactor coils sold by MicroSolv. Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
Can I use the knitted reactor coils (KRC) of the post column photochemical reactor with my HPLC fluorescence detector?
The only restriction on whether or not you can use the knitted reactor coils of the post column photochemical reactor is the inlet tubing of your detector. The absolute minimum ID can be 0.008″. It is preferred that the tubing ID be 0.01″. Anything smaller than 0.008″ is not compatible. Click HERE for HPLC Post […]
Can the knitted reactor coils (KRC) be heated or cooled?
Yes, you can use one of the MicroSolv HPLC Column Water Jackets and pump heated or cooled liquid through it. The maximum temperature that the KRC or KDT can withstand is 200°C Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
How can I change the reaction time of the knitted reactor coils (KRC)?
The reaction time can be changed by changing the inner diameter and length of the KRC. Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
How long will the UV lamp operate at acceptable efficiency with the post column photochemical reactor for HPLC?
The UV lamp supplied with the post column photochemical reactor should operate at acceptable levels for approximately 3,000 hours then it should be replaced. If you find the signal has significantly decreased, you should replace the lamp. Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
I have been using the photochemical reactor for HPLC for a while now. Is there a decrease in the pressure rating of the KRC?
Yes, with long term or constant use there is a natural decrease in the pressure rating and the knitted reactor coil should be replaced. Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
If I use the post column, photochemical reactor for HPLC, do I have to use derivatizing agents?
No, one of the advantages of using the photochemical reactor is that the mechanism to boost your signal is photolytic and messy derivatizing is not required. Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
Is a knitted reactor coil (KRC) included in the purchase of the photochemical reactor for HPLC?
No, you can select from one of 1 many coils that will be completely compatible with the photochemical reactor. They vary in length and ID. See link below. Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
What are the knitted reactor coils (KRC) made from?
The knitted reactor coils are made of virgin, medical grade PTFE (a form of Teflon). Click here for ordering information post column reactor
What is an HPLC post column, photochemical reactor? How does it work?
The post column, photochemical reactor is a compact, easy to use device that will enhance the UV, Fluorescence, Electrochemical or Chemiluminescence signal. The unit is placed, post column (between the HPLC column and the detector) and the separated samples are exposed to UV light for a considerable time while they make their way through a […]
What is the pressure rating of the knitted reactor coils (KRC) used with the HPLC post column reactor?
The knitted reactor coils are rated to hold 300 psig. After time and extended use, this rating may be significantly reduced. Click here for ordering Information for the post column reactor
What is the temperature of the UV lamp on the photochemical reactor?
The UV lamp temperature of the photochemical reactor is roughly 200 °C when used under recommended conditions. Photochemical Reactor Ordering Information
What is the wavelength of the UV light in the post column, photochemical reactor for HPLC?
The post column, photochemical reactor is supplied with a UV lamp that produces mostly a 254nm wavelength. Another wavelength is available upon request as an additional accessory. Click here for ordering information for the post column reactor
Will the photochemical reactor enhance my separations?
The post column, photochemical reactor is designed not to change the selectivity of your HPLC column but to increase the signal response and therefore signal to noise ratio of the separated compounds using your current UV, fluorescence or electrochemical detectors.
