Dionex FLM-3300B Flow Manager 5721.0035 As-is, CLEARANCE!

Dionex UltiMate FLM-3300 Flow Manager

The flow manager is a reliable module of the Thermo Fisher/ Dionex UltiMate 3000 system and performs equally well as a dependable system for routine analyses or as a sophisticated research instrument for nano, capillary, and micro HPLC applications. The design has been optimized for minimum dead volume and maximum efficiency.

The flow splitter delivers the low flow rates required for nano, capillary, and micro HPLC applications. The flow manager is fitted with a flow splitter identification system that allows you to store splitter-specific information on a chip card and read it out whenever you want.

An electronic splitter identification module automatically adapts the system settings to the used splitter cartridge. The module also allows you to store splitter-specific information (split ratio, flow control settings) on a chip card and read it out whenever you want. In addition, the parameters required for flow splitting are set automatically

UltiFlow™ technology with active control of the splitter flow keeps the set flow rates constant, independent of outside influences. Thus, the flow rate is not influenced by the solvent composition, solvent gradients, different viscosities, or analyses at different temperatures. In the same way, effects from column ageing and partial clogging will be compensated.

Thermoelectric elements heat or actively cool the column chamber and all internal components to the desired temperature. Heat exchangers allow fast temperature changes and ensure independence from the ambient temperature, even if the temperature set point is below the ambient temperature.

The flow manager allows compartment cooling by max. 15 °C from the ambient temperature. The lower temperature limit is +5 °C (+41 °F).

The columns can be warmed up to max. +70 °C (+158 °F). An increase in temperature from 20 °C to 50 °C (68 °F to 122 °F) is realized in less than 25 minutes. This corresponds to an average performance of 2-4 °C per minute.

Temperature control allows keeping the column temperature constant. If the ambient temperature changes during the analysis, the increased heating or cooling ensures that the column temperature remains constant. The maximum deviation is ± 0.1 °C.

Several columns of different length (maximum length: 30 cm) can be installed in the column chamber. An electronic column identification module allows GLP-compliant documentation of the column type and all important column parameters.

Depending on the configuration, the flow manager is equipped with one or two column switching valves, e.g., for applications that require different columns at frequent intervals at similar temperatures.

The flow manager is fully controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System, providing a high degree of system integration. All surfaces in the column chamber are made of materials that provide maximum resistance to the most commonly used HPLC solvents.
The flow managers of the UltiMate 3000 system are available as biocompatible versions, also. For information about the characteristics of the biocompatible devices, refer to section.
