1Introduction to the Column Compartment

Overview of the Module

The Agilent 1290 Infinity thermostatted column compartments is a stackable

temperature-controlled column compartment for LC. It is available as

standalone module or as a component of an Agilent 1290 Infinity system. It is

used for heating and cooling to meet extreme requirements of retention time

reproducibility.

The main features of the 1290 Infinity thermostatted column compartment

are:

•Peltier heating and cooling from 10 degrees below ambient up to 100 °C

with high heating and cooling speeds for maximum application flexibility

and stability,

•holds up to three 30 cm columns and optimized design gives minimum dead

volumes and maximum efficiency,

•two independently programmable heat exchangers contribute volumes of

only 3 and 6 µl,

•additional heating devices for low flow rates, which reduce the risk of

additional dispersion,

•it can be supplemented by a kit to install a small heat-exchanger with 1.6 µl

delay volume to reduce the delay volume.

•electronic column-identification module as standard for GLP

documentation of column type, and major column parameters,

•optional high-quality Rheodyne®column switching valves with ceramic

stator-face assemblies for prolonged lifetime.

For specifications, see “Performance Specifications” on page 46.
