12 Agilent 1260 Infinity High Performance Autosampler User Manual
1 Introduction
Overview of the Module
Control of the vial/plate temperature in the thermostatted autosampler is
achieved using an additional Agilent 1290 Infinity Series module; the
Agilent 1290 Infinity Series thermostat for ALS/FC/Spotter. The
thermostat contains Peltier- controlled heat- exchangers. A fan draws air
from the area above the sample vial tray of the autosampler. It is then
blown through the fins of the cooling/heating module. There it is cooled or
heated according the temperature setting. The thermostatted air enters the
autosampler through a recess underneath the special designed sample tray.
The air is then distributed evenly through the sample tray ensuring
effective temperature control, regardless of how many vials are in the tray.
In cooling mode condensation is generated on the cooled side of the
Peltier elements. This condensed water is safely guided into a waste bottle
for condensed water.
