  • Page 10: Introduction To The Pump

    Introduction Introduction to the Pump Introduction to the Pump The quaternary pump comprises an optional solvent cabinet, a vacuum degasser and a four-channel gradient pump. The four-channel gradient pump comprises a high-speed proportioning valve and a pump assembly. It provides gradient generation by low pressure mixing.

  • Page 11: Overview Of The Hydraulic Path

    Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path Overview of the Hydraulic Path The quaternary pump is based on a two-channel, dual-piston in-series design which comprises all essential functions that a solvent delivery system has to fulfill. Metering of solvent and delivery to the high-pressure side are performed by one pump assembly which can generate pressure up to 400 bar.
  • Page 12 Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path Hydraulic Path Figure 2 Hydraulic Path of the Quaternary Pump How Does the Pump Work? In the quaternary pump, the liquid runs from the solvent reservoir through the degasser to the MCGV and from there to the inlet valve. The pump assembly comprises two substantially identical piston/chamber units.

The first piston has a stroke volume in the range of 20 – 100 µL depending on the flow rate. The microprocessor controls all flow rates in a range of 1 µL/min –...
  • Page 14 Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path When turned on, the pump runs through an initialization procedure to determine the upper dead position of the first piston. The first piston moves slowly upwards into the mechanical stop of the pump chamber and from there it moves back for a defined distance.
  • Page 15 Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path How Does Compressibility Compensation Work? The compressibility of the solvents in use will affect retention-time stability when the back pressure in the system changes (for example, ageing of column). In order to minimize this effect, the pump provides a compressibility compensation feature which optimizes the flow stability according to the solvent type.

  • Page 42: Priming The System

    Installing the Pump Priming the System Priming the System Inital Priming When Before a degasser or solvent tubing can be used, it is necessary to prime the system. Isopropanol is recommended as priming solvent due to its miscibility with nearly all HPLC solvents and its excellent wetting properties.
  • Page 43 Installing the Pump Priming the System When priming the vacuum degasser with a syringe, the solvent is drawn through the N O T E degasser tubes very quickly. The solvent at the degasser outlet will therefore not be fully degassed. Pump for approximately 10 minutes at your desired flow rate before starting an analysis.

  • Page 44: Regular Priming

    Installing the Pump Priming the System Regular Priming When When the pumping system has been turned off for a certain time (for example, overnight) air will rediffuse into the solvent channel between the vacuum degasser and the pump. If solvents containing volatile components are left in the degasser without flow for a prolonged period, there will be a slight loss of the volatile components.
