This document introduces the Agilent Technologies' EZChrom Elite CDS and Agilent OL Operating System for the Laboratory software system, which can control many commercial gas chromatographs, autosamplers and HPLC instruments, and can be used with optional instrument control software to control VICI AG (Valco Instruments Co, Inc) two-position and multi-position microelectric actuated valves. This feature allows VICI valves to be integrated into an HPLC or GC instrument system for additional sampling control.
The document describes the Agilent VICI Valve Control Software option, which allows the EZChrom Flite CDS and Agilent OL Operating System to control two-position and multi-position microelectric actuated valves from VICI AG (Valco Instruments Co., Inc.). This integration enables the valves to function as sampling devices or for standard stream switching within HPLC or GC instrument systems.
| Supported Valve Types | EMHA 2-position valves, EMHCA Multi-Position (software configurable 2 to 16 positions), EMTCO Multi-Position (software configurable 2 to 16 positions) |
|---|---|
| Flow Configurations | SD, SC, SF, ST and STF |
| Delay after switching | 0.0 to 10.0 minutes |
| Communications Interface | RS-232 (1200 to 38400 Baud) |
It allows the software method to specify which stream position to use before the chromatographic run is started, functioning as a sampling device.
Yes, by entering commands into an EZChrom or Agilent OL method timed event table.
Over 300 different LC and GC systems from manufacturers such as Agilent, Shimadzu, Hitachi, Thermo Electron, Varian, PerkinElmer.
