Agilent 1290 Infinity HPLC G1316C Column Compartment

The Agilent 1290 Infinity HPLC G1316C Column Compartment is a stackable temperature-controlled column compartment for LC. It is available as a standalone module or as a component of an Agilent 1260/1290 Infinity HPLC system. It is used for heating and cooling to meet extreme requirements of retention time reproducibility. The design of this column compartment uses column heating and cooling devices with Peltier elements, which enables heating and cooling from 10°C below ambient up to 100°C. The G1316C also brings high heating and cooling speeds for maximum application flexibility and stability, with the ability to hold up to three 30 cm columns.

The solvent entering the column compartment is heated up or cooled down to a settable temperature with two low-volume heat exchangers (3 μl on left side, 6 μl on right side), made of a short piece of capillary 0.17 mm i.d. leading through a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is designed such that it can function simultaneously as an air heater. The shape of the heat exchanger surface allows the area around the column to be kept at a similar temperature level as the liquid running through the column. This is done by thermal convection and radiation between the heat exchanger fins. This design ensures that the column and the solvent flowing through it are almost at the same temperature. Actual temperature control is accomplished at the heat exchanger. The solvent cools down or heats up on its transfer from the heating block to the column inlet. This depends on several factors: flow rate, setpoint temperature, ambient temperature, and column dimensions.

All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
