This document describes the use of the Agilent Technologies Active Seal Wash Option, including its features, installation, and parts list.
The document provides instructions for installing the Active Seal Wash option kit on Agilent 1100 series Isocratic, Quaternary, and Binary pumps. It details the necessary tools, step-by-step assembly procedures involving the pump head and plunger housing, and safety precautions regarding solvent compatibility with silicone tubing.
Additionally, the guide explains how to configure the wash function within ChemStation and the Control Module software. It specifies recommended wash solvents (90% water/10% isopropanol) and operational settings for periodic washing based on buffer concentration.
| Compatible Pumps | 1100 series Isocratic, Quaternary and binary pumps |
|---|---|
| Software Requirement (ChemStation) | Revision A.10.02 or later |
| Firmware Requirement | Control Module Firmware revision B.03.21 and greater |
| Recommended Wash Solvent (Aqueous) | 90% bidistilled water / 10% isopropanol |
| Recommended Wash Interval (High Buffer) | 30 seconds every 30 minutes |
It is strongly recommended when buffer concentrations of 0.1 Molar or higher are used for long time periods.
A mixture of 90% bidistilled water and 10% isopropanol is recommended to prevent bacteria growth.
The option fits for 1100 series Isocratic, Quaternary, and Binary pumps.
