DescriptionFunctionPart
A 3-port valve that allows either the buffer or the
sample to enter the flow path. The Sample valve
enables direct application of the sample onto the
column using the Pump.
Sample valve3
A peristaltic pump, which delivers buffer or sample
to the flow path with a flow rate of up to 5 ml/min.
For cleaning procedures, the Pump can flush the
flow path at a flow rate of 10 ml/min.
Pump4
The Pressure sensor reads the pressure in the flow
path and senses overpressure.
Pressure sensor5
A 3-port valve that is used to divert the flow path to
waste. The Wash valve switches automatically dur-
ing the predefined cleaning procedure, Pump wash.
In a manual run, the valve can be set to the intended
position by configuring the run parameters.
Wash valve6
A 6-port manually operated valve that is used to
transfer the sample loaded in the sample loop on to
the column.
Injection valve7
A sample loop is connected to the appropriate ports
of the valve. The valve is switched manually to posi-
tions:
•
Load sample: to allow the loading of the sample
into the sample loop.
•
Inject to column: to transfer the sample from
the loop on to the column during a
chromatography run.
The UV Monitor continuously measures the ab-
sorbance of the liquid in the UV flow cell at a fixed
wavelength of 280 nm. The UV flow cell has a path
length of 2 mm.
