Tandem Operation Capillary Kits, Dual-
Ternary Standard (P/N 6040.2804) or Rapid
Separation (P/N 6040.2803)
2.1 Benefits of Tandem Operation
Tandem operation is an LCi solution for increasing the throughput of gradient separations
between 50% and 100%. With Tandem LC, two different flow paths are used, allowing for
off-line equilibration of one column while a second column is used for the current analysis.
Tandem LC offers a throughput increase without the need for further method optimization.
This eliminates the need for method revalidation and revision of corresponding
documentation, which might be necessary with other throughput-increase approaches. The
HPLC system with tandem operation includes a dual-gradient pump with the ability to
perform two ternary gradients at the same time, a thermostatted column compartment with
one 2-position 10-port valve for column switching, a split loop well-plate autosampler, and a
stackable Dionex detector, all of which are fully controlled by the Chromeleon
Chromatography Data System. Prior to installation, please consider
