How to Install a Capillary Column in an Agilent Micro-ECD | GC Column Installation
Correct column installation at the detector is just as important as installation at the GC inlet.
In this video, I show how I install a capillary GC column into an Agilent micro-ECD (µECD).
I cover:
• Preparing and trimming the capillary column
• Installing the ferrule and detector fitting
• Measuring the correct insertion depth
• Positioning the column in the micro-ECD
• Tightening the detector connection
• Checking the final installation
Incorrect detector-side column position can affect chromatography and detector performance, so insertion depth and a clean column cut matter.
This video focuses specifically on the detector-side installation into the micro-ECD.
