Waters Acquity UPLC H-Class Quaternary Solvent Manager QSM P/N 186015018 is a high-pressure pump that can simultaneously pump four degassed solvents through the Acquity UPLC H-Class system. The pump can deliver gradients in eleven curve shapes (linear, two step, four convex, 4 concave).
**This item has been tested for basic functionality. System will need to be validated/calibrated to ensure accurate results. Inquire if validation/calibration is available from seller for an additional cost. Unit has slight cosmetic blemishes from normal use. See photos for further details.
Features:
A gradient proportioning valve (GPV), to dynamically blend solvent sin any specified combination. The GPV produces predictable gradient segments regardless of solvent compressibility and system backpressure. Solvent selection and proportioning occur on the low-pressure (intake) side of the solvent delivery system, and solvents continue to blend under high pressure in each piston chamber.
An integrated degasser that operates up to the maximum flow rate, with an independent channel for each solvent and an additional channel to accommodate the sample manager flow through needle (SM-FTN) purge solvent.
An automatic, programmable, seal wash. The pumps wash plungers function prevents the build-up of precipitates on the pump plungers by washing them with seal wash solvent at user-specified intervals.
An electronically controlled intelligent intake valve (i2Valve), to speed system priming and reduce startup times. Thei2Valve minimizes solvent flow disturbances in the inlet lines by closely synchronizing the valve performance with pump operation
A vent valve that automatically switches to waste for priming and rapid solvent changeover.
Component Description
100-l mixer/filter
Mixes and filters the solvent before it reaches the pump outlet.
Accumulator pump
Receives solvent from the primary pump and delivers it to the vent valve
Check-valve
A ball check-valve that allows flow in only one direction.
Degasser vent tube
Vents exhaust from the degasser pump
Drain fitting (to waste)
Connects the waste tubing to the leak management system.
Drip tray
Collects fluid leaks.
Gradient proportioning valve (GPV)
Blends solvents to create accurate gradients, regardless of solvent compressibility and system backpressure. The system includes two gradient proportioning valves, one for solvent channels A and B, and one for solvent channels C and D.
i2Valve
An electronically controlled ball check-valve that allows flow in only one direction
Inlet manifold
A component that combines the solvents upstream of pumps.
Leak sensor
Continuously monitors the quaternary solvent manager for leaks and stops the system flow when its optical sensor detects about 1.5 mL of accumulated, leaked liquid in its surrounding reservoir.
Low pressure inlet filters (A, B, C, and D)
A filter that removes particulates from incoming solvent
Mobile phase degasser chambers
Removes dissolved gasses from mobile phase solvents and exhausts them, and any condensates, through waste tubing
Note: Vacuum degassing can change the composition of mixed solvents.
Pressure transducer cable connectors
The electrical connections for the pressure transducers located on the front of the actuators.
Primary pump
Draws solvent, transferring it to the accumulator pump and system as part of the serial flow design.
Sample manager purge solvent degasser
Degasses the sample manager pump solvent
Note: Vacuuming degassing can change the composition of mixed solvents.
Seal wash pump
The pump that circulates solvent, to keep the actuators high pressure seals and plungers free of contaminants.
Seal wash waste fitting
Directs seal wash waste to the drip tray
Solvent vent tubing
Tubing that vents solvent to waste during priming.
Optional solvent selection valve
Select up to six different solvents for isocratic and gradient applications. When present, the valve is plumbed to solvent channel D, enabling selections D1 through D6.
Vent valve
A valve that automatically switches to waste during priming and a block position during the leak test
