The combination of restrictor diameters and lengths determines how the
column effluent is divided (the split ratio) between the two detectors. There
are two approaches to setting up a splitter method.
• Use a typical configuration. A set of eight configurations is discussed
beginning on the next page. They apply to a variety of detector
combinations and split ratios. All of the flows have been calculated.
• Create a custom configuration. If the typical configurations do not meet
your needs, you can create one that does. The CD shipped with the splitter
kit provides tools for the necessary calculations.
We suggest examining the typical configurations first, since they cover a wide
variety of splitter applications and require no calculations.
