HyperShear™ Static Mixers

Combo Micro Series - HPLC, UHPLC Stainless Steel, Biocompatible PEEK

Order Instruction

You can choose any 2, 3 or 4 cartridge combination from 0.5 µL, 1 µL, 2 µL, 5 µL, 10 µL and 25 µL mixer cartridges to create the desired volume to fit your application. The minimum volume you can create will be 2 x 0.5 µL cartridge combination and the maximum volume will be 4 x 25 µL cartridge combination. You will be able to create almost the exact volume you need within that range.

Example)
For a 4 mixer assembly if you choose 1 x 5 µL, 1 x 10 µL and 2 x 25 µL combination, you will get 65 µL volume mixer.
You can specify as below when you order:

The application and Use of ASI Combo Micro Static Mixers

Chromatographers seeking to optimize mixing volumes at flow rates below 100 µL/min. now have the ability to customize a mixing volume which is perfectly tuned to match the separation system. Choosing the right mixing volume is always a compromise between absolute noise reduction, delay volume, and gradient distortion. Ideally the optimum mixing volume should be determined experimentally by evaluating several mixing volumes to determine which provides optimum chromatographic performance. For the separation below at 50 µL/Min., a 50 µL mixer contributes too much delay volume and gradient distortion. The ASI Combo 35 µL (25 µL + 10 µL) mixer provides just the right balance between noise reduction and gradient performance.
