Introduction - Agilent Technologies 7100 Technical Note

Introduction

Waters Instrument Control Software (ICS) is Waters Corporation's
adoption of the Agilent Instrument Control Framework (ICF) for their data
systems. This guide describes how to configure and use the 7100 Capillary
Electrophoresis (CE) in Waters Empower environment.
Empower 3 offers all key functions to control the G7100A Agilent Capillary
Electrophoresis system. All established techniques are feasible, such as the
use of direct and indirect detection modes, use of special electrolyte
systems (containing micelles or gel matrices) and also capillary isoelectric
focusing (cIEF) or capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The application
of external high pressure is supported.
For data analysis, Empower offers processing tools for peak integration
and calculation of concentrations in CE specific mode.
