This module manages and maintains column temperature for your system.

The Alliance iS Column Heater/Cooler (CHC) is a compartment in the system that controls the thermal environment of the column using a combination conductive heater and cooler. When the compartment temperature is set, either directly from the console or within a method, a command is sent to the CHC that switches the compartment heating/cooling engine on or off. The CHC continues to heat or cool until the compartment achieves the specified temperature set point.

The CHC features:

  • Integrated passive preheating
  • Temperature setting range of 4 °C (39.2 °F) to 90 °C (194 °F)
  • Column eConnect technology
  • Column clips for easy column removal and replacement
  • Tool-free fittings (TFFs)

Supported column specifications:

  • Length: 300 mm (maximum)
  • ID: 8.0 mm (maximum)
  • Guard or in-line filter: 30 mm (maximum)
