Included in this manual are chapters on maintaining the following GC components:
•Capillary Columns
•Split/Splitless Inlet (SSL)
•Purged Packed Inlet (PPI)
•Packed Column Inlet (PCI)
•Cool On-Column Inlet (COC)
•Flame Ionization Detector (FID)
•Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD)
•Electron Capture Detector (ECD)
•Nitrogen-Phosphorus Detector (NPD)
•Flame Photometric Detector Plus (FPD+)
•Auxiliary Electronic Pressure Control Module (Aux EPC)
•Pneumatics Control Module (PCM)
•Valves
Each chapter includes:
•A list of the most commonly used consumables and parts for the component
