PREFACE
Thank you very much for purchasing Chromaster 5310 Column Oven.
The Chromaster 5310 Column Oven is used in a liquid chromatograph system for maintaining
the analytical column at a constant temperature, for the purpose of improving the separation of
sample components according to temperature and the reproducibility of retention time.
Note that physiologically or biologically active samples are not applicable to the Chromaster
5310 Column Oven because of possible infection with bacteria or viruses.
This product is intended for use by persons having a basic knowledge of chemical
analysis.
Remember that improper use of analytical instruments, chemicals or samples would
result not only in wrong analytical data but also in consequences adverse to safety. Note
that it is allowed only for persons having a basic knowledge of chemical analysis
procedures to use this instrument.
Carefully read this instruction manual before attempting operation. For proper use of the
software, please acquaint yourself with it.
The liquid chromatograph system comprises a pump unit for delivering mobile phases, a
sample introduction unit for injecting samples (autosampler, manual injector), a column unit for
separating components of each sample, a column oven unit for maintaining the column at a
constant temperature, and a detector unit for detecting separated sample components as
electric signals. Before using the liquid chromatograph system, read carefully the instruction
manual accompanying each of these units so that you can carry out analysis properly.
