Storage of a column over
extended periods
For extended periods of storage it is recommended that the column is stored empty, dry
and cleaned. The top plate and adapter [A] should be stored separately from the column
tube, with the top plate [803] placed at the end of the adapter rod right below the adapter
rod top [105]. Ensure that the top plate rests on its planar side to keep it in place. For the
stainless steel bed support, ensure that the bed support O-ring and scraper seal on the
bed support are stored in a way that prevents mechanical damage. For plastic bed
supports, ensure that the snap ring on the bed support is stored in a way that prevents
mechanical damage.
