See Section 3.4 Equipment, on page48 for more information about the parts in the table
above.
The gradient pump (P202) is described in Chapter 7 ÄKTA ready gradient, on
page 97.
Note:
From inlet to column
DescriptionStage
Inlet valves open the appropriate inlet (XV-001 to XV-006 in chart) for sample
or buffer.
1
The system pump (P-201) and the gradient pump (P-202) deliver the liquid
to the column via a pressure sensor cell (PT-111) and, if preferred, via the
air trap (AT-221), where air in the liquid is removed.
2
There are two sets of valves between the pump and the column:3
•
the air trap manifold, which allows for bypassing the air trap, and
•
the column manifold, which allows for bypassing the column.
