eDAQ C4D connected to the Agilent 7100 CE instrument.
The C4D headstage in the Agilent cartridge. The round, silver UV detector cell can also be seen.

This application note describes how to connect the eDAQ C4D system to the Agilent 7100 CE instrument.

Equipment Required

Choice of Software

The data from both C4D and UV-Visible detectors can be displayed in real time, using either the eDAQ software or the Agilent ChemStation software. Choose the:

  • ER225 C4D Data System, to use the eDAQ software. The analogue output from the UV-Visible detector (on the CE) may be connected to the eDAQ system, so the eDAQ software records data from both detectors.
  • ER125 C4D Detector, to use Agilent ChemStation software. The analogue output from the C4D may be connected to the Agilent CE, so the ChemStation software records data from both detectors.

Installing the C4D Headstage in the Agilent Cartridge

It’s easy to mount the C4D headstage inside the Agilent CE cartridge. Simply thread the capillary through the channel in the side of the C4D headstage and fix in place.

You should ensure that the C4D headstage and its flat grey cable are at least 1 cm away from the capillary as it loops inside the cartridge. This is to prevent the high voltage inside the capillary from shorting through the headstage and its cable, which are both electrically grounded.

You should also ensure that the C4D hardware unit is connected to an electrical socket which is grounded. Connect the C4D hardware directly to the electrical socket in the wall, not using an electrical power board.
