µBinary solvent manager
The μbinary solvent manager (μBSM) is a high-pressure pump that provides
steady (pulse-free) solvent flow at flow rates ranging from 0.0 to 6.0 μL/min
(under closed-loop control) or to 100.0 μL/min (under open-loop control) at
103,421 kPa (1034 bar, 15,000 psi).

µSample manager - fixed loop
The μsample manager-fixed loop (μSM-FL) manages sample injection. It uses
a fixed loop-based mechanism to inject samples. After a puncture needle
pierces the covering of a well or vial, a sample needle extends through the
puncture needle and aspirates the sample. The aspirated sample is then
drawn toward the sample loop while weak-wash solvent is simultaneously
dispensed through the needle, behind the sample. The wash syringe then
pressurizes the needle from the tip, compressing the air gaps around the
sample and positioning the sample completely within the loop. When the
sample is in position, the injection valve is actuated to the inject position, and
high-pressure flow from the pump impels the sample onto the
chromatographic column.
The μSM-FL employs a thermal system that maintains a set temperature in
the sample compartment. When used in conjunction with the optional sample
organizer they create a combined, thermally controlled compartment.

Sample organizer

The optional sample organizer enables automatic processing and increased
throughput by storing multiple microtiter or vial plates and transferring them
to and from the μSM-FL.
The sample organizer's storage-shelf compartment can hold a selection of
ANSI plates. A heater/cooler thermally conditions the shelf compartment and
maintains the temperature at a specified set point.
