The Agilent 220 micro plate sampler (MPS) is an essential part of Agilent's system for combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput HPLC analysis. The value of the sampler is in its flexibility. It uses different sample devices and combines high sample capacity, high speed and sampling/fractionation capability in one system. The sampler, together with the Agilent 1100 Series HPLC modules and the Agilent 1100 Series mass selective detector (MSD), makes up a complete system that fulfills the requirements of combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput analysis with its robustness, ruggedness, sensitivity, selectivity and speed. The seamlessly integrated system plus the single software platform—complete with diode array and mass spectrome- try detectors—simplify system setup, operation and management of large amounts of data.
The Agilent 220 micro plate sampler (MPS) is an essential part of Agilent's system for combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput HPLC analysis. It functions as an XYZ robot that automates liquid handling procedures such as sample injection, fraction collection, and sample preparation.
| Syringe volume capacity | up to 100 pl |
|---|---|
| Sample loop volume (standard) | 5 pl |
| Micro plate rack capacity | up to 12 micro plates |
The standard configuration includes a 100-1 syringe, a Rheodyne injection valve with a sample loop, two needle rinsing stations, septum-piercing needles, and racks for up to 12 micro plates.
Carryover is reduced by washing the needle after drawing the sample using an rinsing station and a wash vial.
The sampler is controlled by CC-Mode software, which is integrated into the Agilent ChemStation.
