Agilent 1260 Infinity Series HPLC Thermostatted Column Compartment (G1316A) (Refurbished)

The Agilent 1260 Infinity Series G1316A Thermostatted Column Compartment (TCC) is an advanced, stackable temperature-controlled module designed for liquid chromatography (LC) systems. It provides precise and efficient thermal control for LC columns, ensuring high retention time reproducibility and peak efficiency across a variety of chromatographic conditions. The G1316A utilizes Peltier technology to achieve fast and stable heating and cooling, allowing laboratories to operate at temperatures ranging from sub-ambient to elevated conditions.

Designed to accommodate up to three 30 cm columns, the G1316A enhances flexibility with its optimized low dead volume design and electronic column identification module for GLP-compliant documentation. Optional column switching valves enable advanced workflows like column selection and precolumn back-flushing, further expanding system capabilities. Its robust diagnostics, safety features, and integration with Agilent LC systems make it a reliable solution for both routine and demanding analytical applications.
