1.1 Overview

AutoInjector Module
AutoSampler Module
Column Selector Module
The AutoInjector Module, AutoSampler Module, and Column
Selector Module allow you to increase the productivity of the
®
CombiFlash EZ Prep by automating a number of tasks involved
with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These
modules are controlled by Teledyne Isco's PeakTrak
order to maintain the ease-of-use you are familiar with and
practically eliminate the need for training.
The three modules can be used separately or in conjunction with
one another for even more automated operation.
The AutoInjector Module performs automated, repetitive com-
pound injections completely unattended. This allows users to
automatically purify amounts of compound larger than what can
be done with a single separation run. As a result of having this
tedious process automated, user productivity is increased.
More information regarding the AutoInjector Module including
installation, setup, and operation can be found in Section 2.
The AutoSampler Module performs automated purifications on
multiple samples. In addition, the module doubles the fraction
collection capacity of the EZ Prep by adding two collection racks.
For more flexibility, samples can consist of multiple injections.
You can even choose between maximizing rack capacity by filling
racks completely or optimizing work flow on a shared system by
having each sample sent to the next rack. The racks utilize the
same RFID rack swapping technology of the EZ Prep, allowing
users to remove completed racks and replace them with new
racks for practically unlimited fraction collection capacity.
More information regarding the AutoSampler Module including
installation, setup, and operation can be found in Section 3.
The Column Selector Module allows the EZ Prep to automati-
cally access up to four prep columns. This allows users easy
access to a variety of column sizes and chemistries. It also allows
users to dedicate columns to both high and low pH separations.
When combined with the AutoSampler Module, each sample can
be separated on the column best suited for the job.
More information regarding the Column Selector Module
including installation, setup, and operation can be found in
Section 4.
