G1316A: Precision and Optimal Thermal Control for HPLC
The G1316A Thermostatted Column Compartment by Agilent is an essential module for chromatographic analyses requiring strict control of column temperature. As part of the Agilent 1200 series, this thermostatted compartment is designed to optimize retention time reproducibility by effectively stabilizing column temperature— a key factor in analytical precision.
The G1316A utilizes a Peltier-based heating and cooling system, allowing temperature control ranging from 10 °C below ambient temperature up to 80 °C. Thanks to an innovative design, this compartment ensures rapid response to temperature changes, reducing stabilization time for maximum efficiency.
Two independent heat exchangers (3 µL and 6 µL) ensure uniform temperature distribution, minimizing thermal fluctuations that could impact chromatographic resolution. This precise thermal management enhances analyte separation and limits peak broadening.
The G1316A is designed to hold up to three 30 cm columns, allowing users to work with multiple columns without frequent replacements. It is also compatible with optional column switching valves (Rheodyne) for increased flexibility in multi-method analyses.
To improve column management, the G1316A is equipped with an electronic column identification system, allowing storage and tracking of essential parameters such as serial number, stationary phase type, particle size, and maximum supported pressure. This feature is particularly useful for compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) requirements.
This module is designed to ensure safe laboratory use. It integrates a leak detection system and overheating protection mechanisms. Its robust casing and optimized internal components provide a long lifespan with reduced maintenance requirements.
With compatibility with Agilent ChemStation and Lab Advisor software, the G1316A enables real-time temperature monitoring and advanced diagnostics, facilitating optimization and preventive maintenance.
The Agilent G1316A is an ideal solution for laboratories seeking to maintain the thermal stability of their HPLC columns, offering optimal precision and flexibility.
