About The Maxum II, Continued 
Parallel Chromatography can reduce the cycle time for complex 
applications and also increase chromatograph analysis frequency by 
running duplicate modules in parallel at staggered times. Since times are 
staggered the system will provide more frequent measurement updates. 
If similar measurements are performed on different streams, parallel 
modules can be used for each stream instead of switching the stream to 
a single module. This will reduce overall cycle time on multiple stream 
applications. 
Duplicate Modules 
Use of parallel chromatography can reduce calibration requirements by 
running two identical modules in parallel on the same stream to obtain 
redundant measurements. As long as the results remain the same within 
a predefined error limit, the analysis is known to be accurate. Deviations 
outside the error limit can trigger notification or activate analyzer 
calibration. Overall, the Maxum II calibration requirements are 
significantly lower because of the parallel measurement configurations 
and standard modular applications.
