This back pressure regulator for HPLC and Ultra HPLC type applications can be directly inserted in the detector outlet. This minimizes number of connections and fluidics components in the system.
This regulator is available with a customer defined pressure value, ranging from 50 to 250 psi (3 to 20 bar).
The most common pressure values – 50, 100 and 250 psi – are available from stock.
The regulator also has a built in filter which keeps internal components from contamination by particulate matter in the mobile phase.
Back pressure regulators are commonly used in the detector outlet to keep mobile phase bubbles free inside the optical detector cell. Degassers in HPLC system usually provide reduce air concentration in the mobile phase. This keeps the mobile phase free of bubble in the detector. However, quite often, a single air bubble appears in the detector cell and can stay for a long time. It disturbs detector signal, especially if low detection level is required.
Having a back pressure regulator with at least 50 psi rated pressure allows to keep detector optical path free of bubbles.
SIELC back pressure regulator has a standard male 10-32 UNF thread on inlet site and can be inserted in any typical high pressure HPLC port instead of a standard fitting. It has female 10-32 UNF thread on outlet site. Clear marking indicates flow direction and pressure rating.
For the ordering use part # BPR-*** where last 3 digits indicates pressure rating. For example, BPR-050 will be a regulator with back pressure 50 psi.
