MANUAL INJECTION VALVESAgilent injection valves from Rheodyne are backed by 40 years of innovationand experience. They feature Patented Make-Before-Break (MBB)technology that provides uninterruptedflow when switching between LOADand INJECT positions. Additionally,MBB greatly reduces transient pressureshocks, which benefits flow-sensitivedetectors, and extends column life.Dual-mode (or front-loading) injection,which enables either the partial-filling orthe complete-filling of the sample loop. An injection port built right into thehandle. This unique design allows thetip of the needle to connect directly tothe sample loop. So you don’t have toworry about sample loss during loading.The reproducibility of manual sampleinjectors depends on operator skill, syringeprecision, and loading method. The partialfilling method is typically reproducible to1.0% relative standard deviation (RSD).The complete-filling method is reproducibleto 0.1% RSD for 5 µl loops.Series 7725i and 9725i Analytical Injection ValvesStainless steel (SS) 7725i and PEEK 9725ivalves are the most popular injectionvalves for analytical HPLC.Features include: 2A 20 µl loop (installed). Loops are alsoavailable in stainless steel or PEEK from5 µl to 5 ml (10 ml for PEEK). Make-Before-Break (MBB)technology allows switchingwithout flow interruption.Wide 30 port angles offereasier access to fittings.Built-in position sensing switchprovides the chromatograph witha reproducible start signal.www.agilent.com/chem

MANUAL INJECTION VALVESSeries 3725i-038 and 3725i Preparative Injection ValvesThe series 3725i-038 (stainless steel) and3725i (PEEK) are the most suitable manualvalves for large sample volumes, high flowrates, and preparative columns sized1.0-10 cm in diameter. Versatile ports accommodate 1/8″(3.2 mm) and 1/16″ (1.6 mm) OD tubing.(Note: 1/16″ OD tubing requires anadapter, PN 5067-1503.) High reproducibility for both partialfilling and complete-filling methods.Sample range is 100 µl to 20 ml(10 ml loop is installed).Flow range is 10 to 800 ml/min.Built-in position sensing switchgives the chromatograph areproducible start signal.1.0 mm diameter passages allow flowrates up to 800 ml/min with virtuallyno pressure drop.Make-Before-Break technology allowsswitching without flow interruption.Manual Injection Valves with Position Sensing SwitchesRheBuild KitsRheBuild kits include all individual parts(rotor seal, stator face assembly, isolationseal), tools, and instructions to completelyrefurbish specific valves to ensure highperformance and long lifetime.www.agilent.com/chemDescriptionPart No.7725i, SS5063-65029725i, PEEK0101-12533725i, SS, prep valve0101-12323725i, PEEK, prep valve0101-1231Manual prep injection valve kit, SS (3725i-038) withposition sensing, 10ml loop, 25ml syringe, ring mountingbracket, start cable, SS connecting capillaries, 0.5mm id,40cm and 60cm5065-9922RheBuild Kits Used with Rheodyne SeriesDescriptionPart No.7725 Injection valve0101-12547750-020 Injection valve(2-groove rotor seal)0101-12577750-030 Switching valve(3-groove rotor seal)0101-12583

MANUAL INJECTION VALVESSample LoopsStainless steel loop ends are square cutand burr-free for a flush connection tothe valve. They are also supplied withunswaged fittings. Flexible PEEK loop endsfeature a clean, straight cut for low deadvolume connection. Both types of sampleloops are factory-cut and finished to thehighest quality.Stainless Steel Sample LoopsRemember size designations for loopsare nominal. The actual volumes can differfrom their theoretical designations becauseof the 0.025 mm (0.001″) tolerance of themetal tubing bore.Generally, accuracy rates are about 5%for large metal loops (1.0 mm, 0.040″), 10%for intermediate loops (0.5 mm, 0.020″),and 30% for small loops (0.2 mm, 0.007″).However, since both standards andunknowns are typically analyzed using thesame sample loop, knowledge of the actualvolume is rarely needed. If you do need toknow the sample volume, it is best tocalibrate the loop while it is on the valve,so the valve’s flow passage is alsotaken into account.Important: Sample loops for the7725 Series and 7125 Series are notinterchangeable. That’s becausethe port angle is 30 for the 7725,and 20 for the 7125.www.agilent.com/chemStainless Steel Loops for 7125 and 7010 InjectorsDescriptionID (mm)Part No.5 µl0.181535-486010 µl0.300101-037620 µl0.510101-037750 µl0.510101-0378100 µl0.510101-0379200 µl0.760101-1252500 µl0.760101-12511 ml0.760101-12192 ml1.000101-12505 ml1.000101-1249Stainless Steel Loops for 7725 InjectorsDescriptionID (mm)Part No.5 µl0.180101-124810 µl0.300100-192320 µl0.300100-192250 µl0.510100-1924200 µl0.760101-1247500 µl0.760101-12461 ml0.760101-12452 ml1.000101-12445 ml1.000101-12435

MANUAL INJECTION VALVESPEEK Sample Loops for 9725 InjectorsDescriptionPEEK Sample LoopsPEEK is inert to almost all organic solventsand is biocompatible. Like metal loops, theactual volumes of PEEK loops can differfrom their nominal designations becauseof the 0.05 mm (0.002″) tolerance of thetubing bore. Generally, accuracy rates areabout 14% for large PEEK loops (0.8 mm,0.030″), 21% for intermediate loops(0.5 mm, 0.020″), and 65% for smallloops (0.2 mm, 0.007″).Although PEEK is compatible with virtuallyall solvents, many factors can affect theburst pressure of PEEK tubing. For example,wall thickness, temperature, exposure timeand concentration of organic solvents canall impact durability. Additionally, solventssuch as THF, methylene chloride and DMSOcause PEEK to swell – while concentratednitric acid and sulfuric acid can weakenPEEK tubing.6ID (mm)Part No.5 µl0.180101-124110 µl0.250101-124020 µl0.250101-123950 µl0.510101-1238100 µl0.510101-1242200 µl0.510101-1237500 µl0.760101-12361 ml0.760101-12352 ml0.760101-12345 ml0.760101-1230PEEK Sample Loops for 3725 InjectorsDescriptionID (mm)Part No.2 ml1.60101-12295 ml1.60101-122810 ml2.00101-122720 ml2.00101-1226www.agilent.com/chem

AUTOSAMPLER MAINTENANCEInjection Valve MaintenanceRotor seal replacement is the most common injection valvemaintenance procedure. Indications include rotor seal blockagesand cross-port leaks. You should suspect a cross-port leak if younotice a drop of mobile phase coming out of the needle when itrises to draw sample from a vial. Or, if you experience poorinjection volume precision. Cross-port leaks can also be found byperforming a pressure test.Tools9/64″ Allen wrench (to remove the stator face anddisassemble the valve)Metric hexagonal keys (for the rest of the Autosampler screws)1/4″ Wrench (to remove the capillaries)Replacing the Rotor SealFor Standard and Well Plate AutosamplersG1313A, G1327A, G1367A1.
