In this Technical Note, we describe the hardware and software involved in PSO Europe Valve Solutions for increasing productivity by adding functionality to the Agilent 1100 Valve Series. The solution offers new automation capabilities, through the use of Agilent 1100 Valves and/or Rheodyne valves in combination with Agilent ChemStation and the PSO Valve Add-on macro. This provides an evolution for flexibility and productivity, with programmable automatic preparation and sequence controlled valve switching.
This document describes the PSO Europe Valve Solutions, a system designed to increase productivity by adding functionality to Agilent 1100 HPLC systems. It details how the solution allows users to switch between solvents and columns on a single system, significantly expanding flexibility for running different methods or chiral screening.
The solution combines Agilent 1100 Valves (such as G1160A and G1159A) or Rheodyne valves with the ChemStation software and a PSO Valve Add-on macro. It offers enhanced control through configurable 'prepare' and 'after care' instruction sets, enabling automatic system preparation, solvent flushing, equilibration, and column storage procedures.
The Agilent 1100 Series G1160A or the Rheodyne EV100-106 can be used.
The Agilent 1100 Series G1159A or the Rheodyne EV501-104 can be used.
An 1100 system can have max 14 modules connected by CAN bus.
