Varian 920-LC Fast LC Performance Dual piston quaternary pump produces fast gradients – even at 200 mL/min Virtually pulse-free pumping without pulse damper Outstanding gradient compositional accuracy give retention time precision at the <1% level Built-in vacuum degas maintains pump prime and enhanced injection reliability Accurate flow from 0.1 to 10 mL/min for 2 to 4.6 mm columns Overlay of 10 chromatograms 10% steps at 1 mL/min
Varian 920-LC Autosampler Needle-in-flow path geometry for low carry-over (<0.01%) Typical inj precision (< 0.3% at 10 mL) Optimized flow paths for fast injection turn-around Synchronised injection for best RT reproducibility Programmable wash setting for low carry-over Injection volumes from 1 uL to 50 mL Cooled option available
Varian 920-LC Superb Washout 125 µg/mL Caffeine Blank injection <0.01% carryover
920-LC Autosampler How Does it Work?
Varian 920-LC Injection Synchronization
Sensitive UV-Vis Detectors Typical Agilent VWD S/N ~ 25 Typical Varian 920-LC UV Vis S/N ~ 38
Varian 920-LC Fluorescence Detector Sensitive Fluorescence detector (S/N > 600 Raman H2O peak baseline method) Time programmable l for increase sensitivity Automatic l validation with built-in Hg lamp Low 12 mL dead volume flowcell for improved chromatography
Heated Column Compartment Temperature range from ambient + 10 °C up to 65 °C Temperature reproducibility +0.15 °C Ensures excellent analytical reproducibility Uses a low delay volume pre-heater for efficient heat transfer to mobile phase Spacious column compartment easily accommodates 2 x 250 mm columns Option with electrically actuated column switching valve and injection valve
