  • Page 10: Overview Of The Module

    The Agilent 1290 Infinity Thermostatted Column Compartment 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.

  • Page 11: System Overview

    This depends on several factors: flow rate, setpoint temperature, ambient temperature and column dimensions. The higher the flow rate, the faster the column equilibrates (due to thermostatted mobile phase). 1290 Infinity TCC User Manual...
