Agilent, G1313-60010, Gripping assembly, 1100 and 1260 Infinity liquid chromatography series standard autosamplers

The Agilent Gripper Arm Assembly is a replacement mechanical component for compatible 1100 Series and 1200 Series liquid chromatography autosamplers. It grips and transports sample vials as the autosampler moves them between the tray and injection position. Accurate vial handling is essential for repeatable sample sequencing because an incorrectly positioned or worn gripper can interrupt injections, damage vial caps or trigger transport errors. This assembly supports the G1313A and G1329A/B autosampler configurations rather than serving as a complete sample transport module or injection valve. Before replacement, inspect the gripper movement, vial geometry, tray alignment and any visible mechanical obstruction. Perform the instrument's relevant adjustment, initialization and functional tests after installation to confirm reliable pickup and return of sample vials. Use appropriate maintenance precautions with the sampler powered down when accessing mechanical components. The product is a single service assembly and contains no chromatographic column, solvent path or analytical detector.
