1Introduction to the 1260 Infinity Nanoflow Pump

Introduction to the Pump

The low flow pumps consist of two identical pumping units in a single housing.

They generate gradients by high-pressure mixing. A solvent selection valve

provides flexibility in the choice of solvents.

Mobile phase composition is produced by mixing the outputs of pumphead A

and B. The solvent selection valve allows the pumphead A output to originate

from either channel A1 or channel A2. The pumphead B output may originate

from either channel B1 or channel B2.

In order to deliver fast gradients over the whole composition range, the two

pumpheads deliver a primary flow of 200 – 1100 µL/min from which a mass

flow sensor controlled electromagnetic proportioning valve (EMPV) splits the

set column flow. Excessive solvent is diverted to waste. This electronic flow

control automatically compensates for changes in solvent properties and

backpressure throughout a run.

Solvent degassing is not done directly in the pump. A 4-channel, low volume

micro vacuum degasser, available as a separate module, provides degassed

solvents to the pump channel inputs. Solvent degassing is required for best

flow stability and detector stability, especially at the low flow rates required to

run capillary/nano LC applications.

1Introduction to the 1260 Infinity Nanoflow Pump

Introduction to the Pump

Hydraulic Path Overview

The NanoFlow Pump is based on the 1200 Series Binary Pump (pressure limit

400 bar, active inlet valves), and performs all the functions necessary for a

µ-flow solvent delivery system. Basically, these functions are:

•Low pressure metering and high pressure delivery

•Solvent compressibility compensation

•Variable stroke volume

•Column flow measurement and control

Low pressure solvent metering and high pressure solvent delivery are

accomplished by two pump channels, each capable of delivering a maximum of

2.5 mL/min flow at up to 400 bar pressure.

Each channel consists of an identical, independently controlled pump unit.

Each pump unit includes a metering drive assembly and pump head assembly.

The pumphead assemblies both consist of two identical chambers, pistons and

seals, plus an active inlet valve and an outlet valve.

The channel flow outputs are initially joined by a low volume pre-mixer, and

are then connected by a capillary coil to a pressure pulse damper. The

pressure pulse damper also serves as a pressure transducer, which sends

system pressure information to the user interface.

The mixer output flow, called main flow, is connected to the Electronic Flow

Control (EFC) system. The EFC system consists of an Electro-Magnetic

Proportioning Valve (EMPV) in series with a flow sensor. The EMPV is

protected from particles in the mobile phase by a solvent filter frit.

Responding to user-entered column flow setpoint, the EFC system determines

how much of the main flow volume is ultimately delivered to the column. The

remaining main flow volume, which is not required by the column, is diverted

to waste by the EMPV.

Under user control, the EMPV can also function as a purge valve, for purposes

of solvent changeover, etc. In this case, the EMPV is totally open, and the total

main flow is diverted to waste.
