Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of Eicom Column Oven Model ATC-700.
This equipment is suita le for the temperature control of HPLC columns and
Eicom Electrochemical Detector Model ECD-700 near the room temperature.
The ATC-700 performss est when using with Eicom HPLC Pumps System EP-
700 and Eicom ECD-700.
The ATC-700 has a Peltier device to heat and cool the air inside the cham er y
convection. At the normal setting temperature range near room temperature, the
temperature regulation will e at the +/- 0.1°C accuracy. It works exceptionally
well to sta ilize the temperature of the mo ile phase and the electrochemical
detector cell.
Safety Precautions
Operation of the ATC-700 should only e performed y personnel trained in
la oratory work, and who are aware of the possi le dangers involved in
chemical reagents and other possi ilities. Read this manual carefully and in full.
