Hello,
I´m looking for a flow splitter, which should be installed between LC column and MS. The splitting ratio should be around 10.
I have an offer from LCPackings. They sell two different splitters; one with a fixed splitting ratio and one with a variable ratio.
Has anybody experience with those or other flow splitters (e.g. from ASI) regarding reproducibilty etc.?
Thanks in advance

Save yourself some money and make a spiltter from a tee and some tubing. By adjusting the length and tubing diameter of the waste side (or the MS side for that matter), you can adjust the split ratio. Often a peice of 0.0025 PEEK on the MS side and a peice of 0.010 on the waste side is used. Be aware, with all splitters, the split ratio will change with changing back pressure (like when running a gradient).
