Description
The Agilent 1290 Infinity II Multicolumn Thermostat (MCT, G7116B) is a UHPLC column oven that provides precise, wide-range temperature control for LC columns. It supports cooling to 20 °C below ambient and heating up to 110 °C, giving labs flexibility to optimize separation speed and selectivity. With exchangeable ultra-high-pressure valves, it also supports automated column selection and switching, making it a versatile addition to any InfinityLab LC Series stack.
Features:
- Dual Peltier-element thermostatting: two independent temperature zones (expandable up to 6 in a clustered configuration) reduce chromatographic band-broadening under UHPLC conditions
- Broad temperature range: cools to 20 °C below ambient and heats up to 110 °C for maximum method flexibility
- High column capacity: houses up to 8 columns (100 mm) or 4 columns (300 mm) in a single unit
- Exchangeable high-pressure valves: rated up to 1300 bar, enabling column selection, sample prep for analyte enrichment/matrix removal, and alternating column regeneration
- High temperature stability and precision: supports reproducible retention times and peak areas
- Column identification (GLP feature): tracks column type, key parameters, and injection count for traceable column history
- Broad compatibility: fits all InfinityLab LC Series systems and can also integrate with legacy 1260/1290 Infinity Series modules
- Bio-inert options available: heat exchangers and valve heads available in bio-inert materials for biological/extreme pH applications
