Conductivity Hardware and Detector Operation

Conventional conductivity detector cells where the electrolyte is in contact with the electrodes are likely to use electrodes made from 316 stainless steel. A new 

The flow path may also include a compartment containing the thermistor probe for electronic feedback. Even though conductance cells tend to be low dead volume, the total dead volume in a conductance detector can be quite large, and considerable mixing of the eluent stream may take place after the peak has been measured. If two detectors are used, it may be best to place the conductivity detector ceU last to avoid peak broadening.
