1 Introduction Introduction Introduction The Agilent 1260 Infinity Bio-inert Manual Injector G5628A can be used for manual operation or use of large injection volumes. It offers a standard injection volume of 20 µl (optional 5 µl to 5 ml) and ensures highest injection accuracy. It uses a Bio-inert 6-port sample injection valve. Sample is loaded into the external 20 µl sample loop through the injection port at the front of the valve. The valve has a PEEK injection seal. A make-beforebreak passage in the stator ensures flow is not interrupted when the valve is switched between the INJECT and LOAD positions, and back again. The valve is mounted on a steel mounting pole, and can be installed at the left or right-hand side of the LC system. 6 Bio-inert Manual Injector

Using the Manual Injector 3 Needles Needles CAUTION Needle can damage valve Always use the correct needle size. Bio-inert Manual Injector 23

3 Using the Manual Injector Injecting Sample Injecting Sample WARNING Ejection of mobile phase When using sample loops larger than 100 µl, mobile phase may be ejected from the needle port as the mobile phase in the sample loop decompresses. Please observe appropriate safety procedures (for example, goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the solvent vendor, especially when toxic or hazardous solvents are used. LOAD Position In the LOAD position (see Figure 8 on page 24), the pump is connected directly to the column (ports 4 and 5 connected), and the needle port is connected to the sample loop. At least 2 to 3 sample-loop volumes (more if better precision is required) of sample should be injected through the needle port to provide good precision. The sample fills the loop, and excess sample is expelled through the waste tube connected to port 2. Figure 8 LOAD Position 24 Bio-inert Manual Injector

Using the Manual Injector 3 Injecting Sample INJECT Position In the INJECT position (see Figure 9 on page 25), the pump is connected to the sample loop (ports 5 and 6 connected). All of the sample is washed out of the loop onto the column. The needle port is connected to the waste tube (port 2). Figure 9 INJECT Position Bio-inert Manual Injector 25

3 Using the Manual Injector Solvent Information Solvent Information Solvent Information Observe the following recommendations on the use of solvents. Follow recommendations for avoiding the growth of algae, see pump manuals. Small particles can permanently block capillaries and valves. Therefore always filter solvents through 0.4 µm filters. Avoid or minimize the use of solvents, which may corrode parts in the flow path. Consider specifications for the ph range given for different materials like flow cells, valve materials etc. and recommendations in subsequent sections. Solvent information for parts of the 1260 Infinity Bio-inert LC system For the Agilent 1260 Infinity Bio-inert LC system, Agilent Technologies uses highest quality materials (see Bio-inert Materials on page 8) in the flow path (also referred to as wetted parts), which are widely accepted by life scientists, as they are known for optimum inertness towards biological samples and ensure best compatibility to common samples and solvents over a wide ph range. Explicitly, the complete flow path is free of stainless steel and free of other alloys containing metals like iron, nickel, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum or copper, which can interfere with biological samples. The flow downstream of the sample introduction does not contain metals at all. However there are no materials, which combine suitability for versatile HPLC instrumentation (valves, capillaries, springs, pump heads, flow cells etc.) with complete compatibility to all possible chemicals and application conditions. This section gives recommendations, which solvents should be preferred. Chemicals which are known to cause issues should be avoided or exposure should be minimized, e.g. for short term cleaning procedures. After using potentially aggressive chemicals, the system should be flushed with compatible standard HPLC solvents. 26 Bio-inert Manual Injector

Using the Manual Injector 3 Solvent Information PEEK PEEK (Polyether-Ether Ketones) combines excellent properties regarding biocompatibility, chemical resistance, mechanical and thermal stability and is therefore the material of choice for biochemical instrumentation. It is stable in the specified ph range and inert to many common solvents. There is still a number of known incompatibilities to chemicals like chloroform, methylene chloride, THF, DMSO, strong acids (nitric acid > 10 %, sulphuric acid > 10 %, sulfonic acids, trichloroacetic acid), halogenes or aequous halogene solutions, phenol and derivatives (cresols, salicylic acid etc.). When used above room temperature, it is sensitive to bases and various organic solvents, which can cause PEEK to swell. As normal PEEK capillaries are very sensitive to high pressure especially under such conditions, Agilent uses stainless-steel cladded PEEK capillaries in order to keep the flow path free of steel and to ensure pressure stability to at least 600 bar. In case of doubt, please consult common literature about the chemical compatibility of PEEK. Titanium Titanium is highly resistant to oxidizing acids (e.g. nitric, perchloric and hypochlorous acid) over a wide range of concentrations and temperatures, which is due to a thin oxide layer on the surface, which is stabilized by oxidizing compounds. Reducing acids (e.g. hydrochloric, sulfuric and phosphoric acid) can slightly corrode titanium, which increases with acid concentration and temperature. For example the corrosion rate of 3 % HCl (about ph 0.1) at room temperature is about 13 µm/year. At room temperature, titanium is resistant to concentrations of about 5 % sulfuric acid (about ph 0.3). The addition of nitric acid to hydrochloric or sulfuric acids significantly reduces corrosion rates. Titanium is subject to corrosion in anhydrous methanol, which can be avoided by adding a small amount of water (about 3 %). Slight corrosion is possible with ammonia > 10 %. Fused silica Fused silica is inert against all common solvents and acids except hydrofluoric acid. It is corroded by strong bases and should not be used above ph 12 at room temperature. The corrosion of flow cell windows can negatively affect measurement results. For a ph larger than 12, the use of flow cells with sapphire windows is recommended. Bio-inert Manual Injector 27

3 Using the Manual Injector Solvent Information Gold Gold is inert against all common HPLC solvents, acids and bases within the specified ph range. It can be corroded by complexing cyanides and concentrated acids like aqua regia (a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric and nitric acid). Zirconium Oxide Zirconium Oxide (ZrO 2 ) is inert against almost all common acids, bases and solvents. There are no documented incompatibilities for HPLC applications. Platinum/Iridium Platinum/Iridium is inert against almost all common acids, bases and solvents. There are no documented incompatibilities for HPLC applications. PTFE PTFE (polytetrafluorethen) is inert against almost all common acids, bases and solvents. There are no documented incompatibilities for HPLC applications. Sapphire, Ruby and Al 2 O 3 -based ceramics Sapphire, Ruby and ceramics based on Al 2 O 3 are inert against almost all common acids, bases and solvents. There are no documented incompatibilities for HPLC applications. Data above were collected from external resources and are meant as a reference. Agilent cannot guarantee for the completeness and correctness of such information. Information can also not be generalized due to catalytic effects of impurities like metal ions, complexing agents, oxygen etc. Most data available refers to room temperature (typically 20 25 C, 68 77 F). If corrosion is possible it usually increases at higher temperatures. In case of doubt, additional resources should be consulted. 28 Bio-inert Manual Injector
