The Agilent 1260 Infinity III SFC System consists of a G4782A SFC Binary Pump, G4301A SFC Control Module, G4767A SFC Multisampler, G7116A Multicolumn Thermostat, and either a G7115A Diode Array Detector WR or G7165A Multiple Wavelength Detector equipped with a high pressure SFC flow cell.
The SFC control module, redestills and preconditions the CO₂ by boosting the pressure to just below the column head pressure, relieving the SFC pump of any compression requirements. This results in low detector noise and significantly higher sensitivity. Therefore, the Agilent SFC pump receives pre-conditioned CO₂, and acts only as metering device for the mobile phase flow and to form the gradient with the second pump head by adding the appropriate amount of modifier solvent.
Downstream of the detector, the mobile phase is redirected back into the SFC control module to an integrated back-pressure regulator that maintains the back-pressure over the system.
The SFC system is designed for use with InfinityLab Level Sensing and Sample ID Reader and completely controlled by Agilent OpenLAB CDS software. The system diagram is shown below:
