The WUW ML bundle detector

Transportable frontal chromatographic unit for decontamination purposes based on the twin column concept

“…The distribution coefficient refers to the volume of the chromatographic support and is affected by its coating. We found a K resin of 4.5 for the system Y 3+ /Amberchrom/CMPO which already meets the requirement of inequality (9), but this value can be increased by augmenting the CMPO coating. We utilize the batch character of frontal chromatography to determine the daily throughput.…”

“…3, left part). The bundle itself did not show a measurable pressure drop ( p ≤ 0.1 bar) [9]. A scaling-up of the unit only affects tubes and columns, the detection systems remain unchanged.…”

“…Process control was carried out with the radioactivity monitor LB 508 C, from EG&G Berthold, Bad Wildbach, Germany, which we equipped with the custom-made detector flow cell WUW-ML 9 [9]. We dismantled the monitor and installed the detection unit (detector cell and chamber, multipliers and preamplifiers) together with the separation unit inside a hood, while the electronic parts together with the processor from Sontag, Waldfeucht, Germany, were left outside the hood.…”
