Summary
Construction of crocheted photochemical reactors for use in high performance liquid chromatography is described. The design of these reactors is optimal for low intensity light sources because of their cylindrical configuration. Band broadening is minimized by the use of tightly crocheted narrow bore tubing and fittings modified to reduce dead volume. These reactors are suitable for most post-column photochemical reactions with the additional possibility of serving as mixing/delay coils, deoxygenation devices for electrochemical detectors, and as low dispersion detector cells for chemiluminesckent reactions.
