Description
The Agilent 1290 Infinity II Multicolumn Thermostat (MCT) facilitates precise column thermostatting over a broad temperature range with cooling down to 20 °C below ambient temperature and heating up to 110 °C.. This capability provides high flexibility for optimized speed and enhanced selectivity of LC separations. Exchangeable ultra-high-pressure valves enable a wide range of applications such as column selection from eight columns in a single MCT, sample preparation for analyte enrichment or matrix removal, alternating column regeneration – and many more.
The MCT matches perfectly with all InfinityLab LC Series systems and can also be combined with previous 1260 and 1290 Infinity Series modules.
