4.7 Loop valve
Function of the Loop valve
The Loop valve allows the user to connect several loops simultaneously to the instrument.
It can for example be used for storing intermediate fractions in multi-step purifications,
for storing samples to be used in scouting runs, or for storing eluents needed in low
volumes. The valve also has a built-in by-pass function that enables by-passing all loops.
The Loop valve is labeled V9-L or V9H-L.
