HPLC Pump L-7100

High Precision
Solvent Delivery
The LaChrom L-7100 HPLC pump provides the highest possible
degree of precision and reliability for high quality analytical results.
Corresponding to the requirements of modern quality assurance, it is
equipped with intelligent
function control and in-
corporates a documen-
tation facility. Versatile
in its application, it has
become a universal pump
module in the HPLC
laboratory.
Apart from its control
by the D-7000 HPLC
System Manager, the
L-7100 can also function
as a stand-alone system
controller.

Precision and Reliability
The L-7100 has been designed along
the lines of the proven serial dual-
piston principle, characterised by an
extremely constant flow rate, low
pulsation and reliable delivery of all
commonly used solvents. Moreover,
the L-7100 is able to form solvent
gradients with high precision and
accuracy. Each individual component
the manufacturer's test report docu-
ments that all functions and specifi-
cations have been fulfilled.
Versatile in Application
User-friendly programming via key-
board and LCD dialogue enable the
L-7100 to be used as
■ Isocratic HPLC pump
■ High-pressure gradient pump in
conjunction with one or two
further L-7100 pumps and as
■ Column packing device at con-
stant pressure.
The L-7100 pump can store
■ 9 time programmes, in which
mobile phase composition, flow
rate and four events can be pro-
grammed and varied over a period
of time.

and the finished instrument are ■ Quaternary low-pressure gradient

subject to stringent quality control pump in conjunction with a gra-
measures. A validation certificate and dient accessory

■ Via a Link function, programmes
for multi-method applications
can be linked.
A shut-down routine can be pro-
grammed to be carried out at the
end of an analysis series by
■ Delayed pump stop and a
■ System flush programme.
Due to minimised internal volume, a
highly constant flow-rate and excel-
lent gradient reproducibility at low
flow-rates, the L-7100 pump is
■ Optimally suited for narrow-bore
applications.
For applications involving sensitive
materials requiring operation at low
temperatures
■ The cold room compatibility of
the L-7100 is advantageous.
Premature wear caused by salt-
containing eluents is prevented by
the fitting of a
■ Piston cleaning facility, whereby
the piston wash procedure can be
carried out automatically in
combination with the LaChrom
autosamplers.
GLP Functions
In view of the requirements of qua-
lity assurance systems, all modules
of the LaChrom system have been
fitted with comprehensive facilities
for status display, reliability monito-
ring and the provision of correspon-
ding documentation and traceability.
HPLC Pump L-7100
■ All parameters, programmes and
gradient curves of the L-7100
pump can be printed out by the
LaChrom data systems.
■ The pressure signal of the
L-7100 pump is constantly moni-
tored as part of the reliability
check. Any deviations from the
normal pressure profile, caused
for example by air bubbles or
malfunction of pump valves, are
registered during the course of
the analysis.
■ The Pump pressure profile can be
printed out in the analysis report
and hence serve in the assessment
of the quality of the analytical
results.

Maintenance is facilitated by the
■ Maintenance logbook which auto-
matically registers the total volume
delivered. This provides an indica-
tion as to when the next replace-
ment of the pump seal or the next
cleaning of the pump valves
should take place.
Controller Function
In stand-alone operation, the system
control function of the
L-7100 enables external instruments
to be controlled by providing
■ Four event and other control
signals.
