Table B–4: µSM-FL performance specifications
Feature Specification
Injection volume range 0.1 µL to 100.0 µL in 0.1-µL increments; 5-µL
loop standard with 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100-
µL optional loops; unlimited injection volume
during trapping
Injection linearity >0.999 (default needle) from 20% to 80%
volume for the 5-µL loop
Injection modes Full loop mode for optimal quantitation and
dispersion; partial loop mode for fastest cycle
time and sample volume flexibility
Sample manager precision <1% area RSD 0.2 to 1.9-µL injection; <0.5%
area RSD 2.0 to 10.0-µL-injection
Number of sample plates Any two of the following:
• 96- and 384-well microtiter plates
• 48-position 2.00-mL vial plates
• 48-position 0.65-mL micro-centrifuge tube
plates
• 24-position 1.50-mL centrifuge tube plates
Maximum sample capacity 768 in two 384-well plates, or 96 in 2-mL vial
holders, plus four additional positions for
dilution functions or standards
Sample compartment temperature range 4.0 to 40.0 °C, settable in 0.1 °C increments;
maintains 19.0 °C below ambient with a
tolerance range between -2.0 and +4.0 °C
Temperature accuracy ±0.5 °C at sensor
Temperature stability ±1.0 °C at sensor
Injection needle wash Integrated, active, programmable, dual wash
Minimum sample required 3 µL residual, using Waters total recovery vials
(zero offset)
Advanced sample manager capabilities Load Ahead and Loop Offline mode, valve
cycling timed event, multi-load with trapping
independent of sample loop volume
Primary wetted materials Fused silica, DLC, PEEK blend, PEEK,
fluoropolymer, PPS, fluoroelastomer,
borosilicate glass, PPS Blend, 316 stainless
steel
