IntelliStart Fluidics system 1-11
Atmospheric pressure gas chromatography (APGC)
The Waters APGC couples an Agilent GC with the Xevo TQD, making it
possible to perform LC and GC analyses in the same system, without
compromising performance. The APGC provides complementary information
to the LCMS instrument, enabling analysis of compounds of low molecular
weight and/or low-to-intermediate polarity.
See the
Atmosheric Pressure GC Operator’s Guide Supplement for further
details.
TRIZAIC UPLC source
The TRIZAIC UPLC source accepts a nanoTile™ device, which combines the
functions of an analytical column, trapping column, and nanospray emitter.
This technology simplifies the implementation of capillary-scale
chromatography and analysis of limited-volume samples.
See the
TRIZAIC UPLC System Guide for further details.
IntelliStart Fluidics system
Functionality
The IntelliStart Fluidics system is a solvent delivery system built into the
mass spectrometer. It delivers sample or solvent directly to the MS probe in
one of three ways:
• From the LC column.
• From two integral reservoirs. Use standard reservoir bottles (15 mL) for
instrument setup and calibration. Use 1.5 mL, low-volume vials (sold
separately) to infuse smaller volumes (see page 2-6 .)
The reservoirs can also deliver sample through direct or combined
infusion to enable optimization at analytical flow rates.
• From a wash reservoir that contains solvent for automated flushing of
the instrument’s solvent delivery system.
The onboard system incorporates a selector valve, an infusion pump, and two
sample reservoirs mounted on the bottom, right-hand side of the instrument.
Recommendation:
Use reservoir A for the calibrant solution and tuning
compounds, and reservoir B for analyte/optimization solution.
