Low Pressure Gradient (LPG) Block
Low Pressure Gradient (LPG) Block
General Description
The LPG module in the Smartline Manager 5000 compliments the
Smartline Pump 1000 that creates a completely quaternary low pressure
gradient system. The flow range reaches up to 50 ml/min depending on
the pump head. A valve block made out of PEEK is controlled over the
Smartline Pump 1000 and delivers gradient mixtures with the highest
precision over the entire flow range.
The LPG Block in the Smartline Manager 5000 integrates and can be
equipped with a degasser and/or an interface module.
The LPG module in the Smartline Manager 5000 can only be operated in
combination with a Smartline Pump 1000. The Smartline Pump 1000
controls all electrical functions on the Smartline Manager 5000 and
provides the required electrical power supply. This is realized with a
connection cable (G0649). The connection cable is included in the
accessories for the Smartline Manager 5000.
The control of the LPG block can be obtained in the stand-alone mode
over the Smartline Pump 1000 or with ChromGate
®
or EuroChrom
®
software.
