Agilent, G1312-87330, Solvent Mixer

The Agilent Stainless Steel Solvent Mixer is an inline liquid chromatography pump accessory measuring 60 × 4.6 mm. It promotes more uniform mixing of solvent streams before the mobile phase enters downstream chromatographic components. In gradient HPLC systems, incomplete mixing can contribute to composition fluctuations, baseline disturbances and changes in analyte retention. The compact stainless steel component integrates into a compatible pump flow path, rather than acting as a reservoir or an independently powered mixing instrument. During replacement, depressurize the system, use fittings appropriate to the tubing and port geometry, and avoid introducing particulates into the mixer. After installation, flush the flow path and check for leaks at the operating flow rate. Observe gradient baseline stability and system pressure to identify installation or contamination problems. Select solvents and cleaning procedures compatible with the installed pump and the stainless steel wetted path. This product is an inline solvent-mixing component, not a packed LC separation column or a solvent filtration cartridge.
