Advanced Flow Technology for Enhanced Productivityand Confident Identification Backflush System The backflush system reverses the carrier gas flow after the target compounds have eluted, to discharge residual late eluting components in the column through the injection port split vent. Backflush shortens the analysis time and improves productivity. In addition, high-boiling point components are discharged efficiently to reduce the bakeout time (elution time), and thus prevent column deterioration, contamination, and retention time shifts. Normal Analysis Unnecessary component Analysis time shortened!...

The Intuitive and easy-to-use Advanced Flow Technology Software is included with each AFT system. Both the backflushing and detector splitting systems are controlled with this software. Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Polystyrene Backflushing was started 12 minutes after target substances were eluted. Analysis time, including the time for discharging unwanted substances, could be reduced from 75 minutes to 18.5 minutes. * Open__j Save j Configuration.
