Function of the Versatile valve
The Versatile valve is a 4-port, 4-position valve, which can be used to add extra features to the flow
path. For example, the valve can be used to connect external equipment to the flow path during parts
of a run. The versatile valve can be installed in any position. The versatile valve is labeled V9-V or V9H-
V.
It is possible to install up to four versatile valves simultaneously in ÄKTA pure. The configuration is defined
by the module's Node ID.
