1Introduction

Features

The Agilent 1290 Infinity Flexible Cube introduces an unprecedented

flexibility to the Agilent 1290 Infinity System. It includes options to reduce

Carry Over and will later, with addition of valve pods, be able to convert the

G4226A Autosampler for fixed loop injections or be used as a multipurpose

valve box.

The G4227A Flexible Cube is capable of reducing carry over to a minimum and

maintains that level between the maintenance intervals of the Autosampler.

For specifications, see “Performance Specifications” on page 34.

NOTE This 1290 Infinity Flexible Cube has been introduced as part of the Agilent 1290 Infinity

Liquid Chromatograph.
