The 216-LC employs a "splitless" design that delivers nanoliter flows to amass spectrometer without discarding a large fraction of the solvent. Moreprecise mixing of binary gradients, controlled by one flow sensor for eachmobile phase, ensures reproducible gradients and better retention timeprecision. An integrated, temperature controlled, low-sample-loss autosamplerenhances productivity, and minimizes transfer time to the separation columneven at nanoliter flow rates while keeping the total footprint of the systemsmall.
