Sample manager-flow through needle
The ACQUITY UPLC I-Class IVD Sample Manager - Flow Through Needle
(SM - FTN) incorporates a flow-through-needle mechanism. The mechanism
aspirates a sample from plates and vials and holds it in the sample needle in
preparation for injecting the sample onto the column. The needle serves as
part of the injection flow path when the sample is pushed onto the column.
A 50-µL extension loop (installed between the sample needle and the injection
valve) can increase the injection volume beyond that of the sample needle.
The flow-through-needle mechanism operates similarly to most traditional
HPLC systems.

Column heater with active preheater
The ACQUITY UPLC I-Class IVD column heater (CH-A) controls the column
temperature independent of flow rate.
The column heater (CH-A) heats the column compartment to any temperature
between 20 ºC and 90 ºC that is at least 5 °C above the ambient temperature.
For example, if the ambient temperature is 25 °C, the range is 30 to 90 °C. A
low dispersion, active preheating device heats the incoming solvent to match
the temperature of the column before the solvent enters the column. The
column compartment can accommodate columns of up to 4.6 mm I.D. and up
to 150 mm length.
