Installation and Configuration 1 Hardware Installation Hardware Installation The Agilent 1100 Series External Valves can be installed in two different ways. They can either be placed on free bench space near the Agilent 1100 Series HPLC system or they can be mounted on the Agilent G1383A Column Organizer as displayed in Figure 1. The column organizer should be located on the right side of the 1100 Series stack, which includes the autosampler.
1 Installation and Configuration Hardware Installation In order to install a valve on the G1383A Column Organizer the Organizer Rail Assembly must be installed on the two mounting poles using the clips from the Organizer Rail Assembly. All External Valves have a bracket on the side which slides over the metal part of the Organizer Rail Assembly. Two CAN connectors and one DC-CAN connector are located at the back panel of the 1100 Series Valve Assemblies as displayed in Figure 2.
Installation and Configuration 1 Hardware Installation Setting up the power connection to other Agilent 1100 Series Modules The power for the Agilent 1100 Series External Valves can be supplied by one of the following 1100 Series modules: • Agilent 1100 Series Preparative Pump (G1361A) • Agilent 1100 Series Fraction Collector (G1364A, G1364B, G1364C, G1364D) • Agilent 1100 Series Well-Plate Autosampler (G1367A) • Agilent 1100 Series Micro Well-Plate Autosampler (G1377A) • Agilent 1100 Series Dual Loop Au

Agilent 1100 Agilent 1100 Series Valves User’s Guide 4 Valve Applications Alternating Column Regeneration 34 Sample enrichment and Sample stripping 38 Column Selection 42 Solvent Selection 44 In this chapter selected applications for the Agilent 1100 Series Valves will be described.
4 Valve Applications Alternating Column Regeneration Alternating Column Regeneration Alternating column regeneration is a convenient way to increase the sample throughput. The Agilent 1100 Series 2 position/ 10 port valve (G1157A) can be used in combination with the Agilent LC and LC/MS modules to increase the efficiency in laboratories running large amounts of samples.
Valve Applications 4 Alternating Column Regeneration If the valve is switched to position 1 the eluent pump delivers the mobile phase through the injection loop of the autosampler into port 2 of the 1100 Series Valve. The sample is separated on column 1 and analyzed by the detector. Simultaneously a second regeneration pump flushes and equilibrates column 2. After the analysis of the sample is finished on column 1, column 2 is prepared for an immediate injection.

4 Valve Applications Sample enrichment and Sample stripping Sample enrichment and Sample stripping Sample enrichment and sample stripping methods can be used to separate samples from complex matrices, such as biological fluids, food extracts or wastewater. This might be necessary to avoid interference of the matrix during separation and detection or even damage of the column. You can use the 1100 Series 2 position/ 6 port valve (G1158A) to automate these techniques for LC and LC/MS analysis.
Valve Applications 4 Sample enrichment and Sample stripping For the sample enrichment phase the valve is switched to position 1. The eluent Pump A transfers the injected sample onto the enrichment column. The sample is retained and enriched on this column, whereas the sample matrix is flushed into the waste. At the same time the second eluent pump B is equilibrating the analytical column.
4 Valve Applications Sample enrichment and Sample stripping Figure 22 on page 39 illustrates how the Agilent 1100 Series 2 position/ 6 port valve can be used for sample stripping. In valve position 1 Pump A transfers the complete sample matrix onto the pre-column 1, where the matrix is trapped while the analytes are eluted and flushed to column 2 for analysis. Then the valve switches to position 2.
