Introduction to the Autosampler

Figure 1 Overview of the Autosampler

The Agilent 1260 Infinity autosamplers are designed for use with other

modules of the Agilent 1200 Infinity Series, 1200 Series and 1100 Series LC

system, or with other LC systems if adequate remote control inputs and

outputs are available. The autosamplerss are controlled by the Agilent control

module (G4208A Instant Pilot) or by Agilent control software (ChemStation

for LC, EZChrom Elite etc.).

Three sample-rack sizes are available for the autosamplers. The standard

full-size rack holds 100 × 1.8 mL vials, while the two half-size racks provide

space for 40 × 1.8 mL vials and 15 × 6 mL vials respectively. Any two half-size

rack trays can be installed in the autosamplers simultaneously. A specially

designed sample-rack holding 100 × 1.8 mL vials is available for use with
