The Thermo Scientific Vanquish Horizon Column Compartment H model VH-C10-A includes the following main features:
- Column thermostatting in a temperature range from +5 °C to 85 °C(VC-C10) or +5 °C to 120 °C (VH-C10)•Column cooling by a maximum of 18 °C from the ambient temperature, with the lower temperature limit being +5 °C
- Support of still air and forced air thermostatting modes
- Column chamber providing room for two columns, with pre-heaterand pre-column as required by the application
Maximum possible length of the entire assembly: 387 mm
- Column identification for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) compliant documentation of the column type and major column properties
- As an option, the column compartment can also hold:
- Column switching valves to quickly change between different columns ̈
- Passive pre-heater for thermostatting of the eluent before it enters the column ̈
- Active pre-heater with proper temperature control for warming up the eluent to a settable temperature before it enters the column
- Post-column cooler to cool down the eluate before it flows into the detector
