Preparing The Module - Agilent Technologies InfinityLab LC Series User Manual

Preparing the Module

For best performance of the module
• When using the module in a system with a vacuum degassing unit, shortly
• Filter samples before use in a 1200 Infinity Series system. Use High pressure
• When using buffer solutions, flush the system with water before switching it
• Check the module plungers for scratches, grooves and dents when changing
• Solvent Information - Observe recommendations on the use of solvents, see
• Priming and Purging the System - When the solvents have been exchanged or

lifetime of the seal.
"Solvent Information"
