The sample management system in the Waters 2690 Separations Module uses five
carousels with a total capacity of 120 vials. A carrier rotates the carousels to the injection
station in the sample compartment.
The Waters 2690 Separations Module is available from Waters in a number of
configurations, differing from each other by the options that are included.
The two primary configurations are designated:
•

helium sparge for solvent conditioning, integral plunger seal-wash system, 120-vial
capacity sample management system, liquid-crystal display and keyboard user
interface, and floppy disk drive.
•
2690 XE
– Provides the capabilities of the 2690 base product, replaces the helium
sparge system with a four-channel in-line vacuum degasser, and adds a column
heater and a sample heater/cooler.
