Extremely Versatile Automatic Sample Injection for HPLC
- Unique Injection System - a double needle system utilizing a stainless steel needle to penetrate the septum and then second needle for sample aspiration.
- Three Injection Modes - flushed loop, partial loop and microliter pick-up for excellent reproducibility and no sample loss when dealing with limited sample availability.
- Automated Derivatization and Diluting Capabilities - flexible formats for sample preparation.
- Peltier Sample Temperature Control - integral heating and cooling of the sample racks.
- Flexible Vial Format - supports a wide range of sample vial shapes and sizes.
- Automatic vial sensor system detects vial presence and size.
- Ideal for Microdialysis studies.
