Same sample to different loops

Two position valve application – 8 port valve

In a dual external sample loop configuration, sample is injected in both positions. In Position A, Loop 2 is loaded while the mobile phase flows through Loop 1 and onto the column. In Position B, the Loop 2 sample is injected onto the column and another sample is loaded into Loop 1. When the valve is returned to Position A, the Loop 1 sample is injected onto the column and Loop 2 is reloaded.

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