Cheminert C72 UHPLC Injector
VICI Valco Instruments Co. Inc.Cheminert C72 Ultra-high Pressure UHPLC Injector features a proprietary stator coating that permits pressures up to 15,000 or 20,000 psi. Versions are available with 360 micron, 1/32", or 1/16" zero dead volume fittings, in 4, 6, 8, or 10 port configurations. Bores range from .004" to 0.010". The UHPLC injectors use the same mounting system as the widely used Cheminert C2 series HPLC injectors, so all of their actuation options are applicable. The electric actuator determines accurate positioning without limit switches or customer adjustment. A manual controller is provided, but computer control is facilitated via RS-232 or RS-485 interface. The actuator is CE-certified, and includes an autosensing 110/230 VAC to 24 VDC universal power supply. The new Universal actuator can be used on both two position and multiposition valves and is available with optional USB, serial, or BCD interface.
