Can I connect a QDa and an ELS detector to one Peak NM32LA nitrogen generator? - wkb82382

ENVIRONMENT

• ACQUITY QDa Mass Detector
• ACQUITY UPLC ELS Detector
• 2424 Evaporative Light Scattering Detector
• Peak Scientific NM32LA nitrogen generator

ANSWER

Yes

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For the QDa, during API operation, typical nitrogen usage is 1300 L/hour (at atmospheric pressure). For the 2424 or ELSD, typical nitrogen usage is 180-240 L/hour. The NM32LA has a maximum output flow rate of approximately 1900 L/hour (32L/min)

See Peak documentation for more information and user manuals.

Use the 6mm Legris tee found in the ELSD startup kit to split the nitrogen between the 2 instruments (700002499

FITTING, TEE, 6MM TUBE TO 6MM TUBE)
