Introduction
This chapter introduces you to the Waters
®
717plus Autosampler. The autosampler’s
operational features are summarized and its components described.
1.1 Description
The Waters 717plus Autosampler injects samples into a high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) system. The Waters 717plus Autosampler automates sampling
by storing up to 96 sampling methods or “steps”. Each method controls all injection
parameters for a sequence of vials.
The Waters 717plus Autosampler (Figure 1-1
) may be used as either a stand-alone unit or
as a component in a Waters IEEE-488 based HPLC system. As part of an IEEE-488
based system, the autosampler may be controlled by Waters PowerLine™ System
Controllers or Waters Data Workstations.
