Sample injection with a 6 port valve

Two position valve application

With the valve in Position A, sample flows through the external loop while the carrier flows directly through to the chromatographic column. When the valve is switched to Position B, the sample contained in the sample loop and valve flow passage is injected onto the column.

Move your mouse cursor over Position B to "switch" the valve, or go to a non-animated version.

Position A     Position B
