Recommendations for Instrument Setup

General Information
InfinityLab 2D-LC Solutions come in several flavors, still allowing flexible HPLC
combination of InfinityLab Series and 1200 Series Infinity modules. In
combination with the Agilent Mass Spectrometer the HPLC part of the 2D-LC
solution requires a two-stack configuration. For 2D-LC, a two-stack configuration
is always preferred. On the left stack, the order of the modules from bottom to
top is: pumps for both dimensions, then Vial- or Multisampler.
The sampler must be placed on top of the pumps. The right stack consists of one
or two column compartments and one or two standard UV detectors.
Depending on the number of solvents used, both stacks offer the possibility to
place a solvent cabinet on top.

The dual stack configuration for 2D-LC requires at least 97 x 62 cm (24.4 x
NOTE
38.2 inches) free, vertical bench space. 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) of space on either
side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear is reserved for air circulation
and electric connections.
