Agilent InfinityLab LC Series Site Preparation Checklist
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Agilent instrument. To get you started and to assure a successful and timely installation, please refer to this specification or set of requirements.
Correct site preparation is the key first step in ensuring that your instruments and software systems operate reliably over an extended lifetime. This document is an information guide and checklist prepared for you that outlines the supplies, consumables, space, and utility requirements for your equipment.
Customer Responsibilities
Ensure that your site meets the following specifications before the installation date. For details, see specific sections within this checklist, including:
The necessary laboratory or bench space is available.
The environmental conditions for the site as well as laboratory gases, plumbing and extraction.
The power requirements related to the product (e.g. number and location of electrical outlets).
The required operating supplies necessary for the product and installation.
If Agilent is delivering Installation and Familiarization services, users of the instrument should be present throughout these services. Otherwise, they will miss important operational, maintenance, and safety information.
Please consult the Special Requirements section for other product-specific information.
HPLC grade (or better) solvents needed for installation (acetonitrile, isopropanol, and water).
Customer Information
If you have questions or problems in providing anything described as a Customer Responsibility, please contact your local Agilent or partner support service organization for assistance before the scheduled installation. In addition, Agilent and/or its partners reserve the right to reschedule the installation dependent upon the readiness of your site.
Should your site not be ready for whatever reasons, please contact Agilent as soon as possible to re-arrange any services that have been purchased.
Other optional services such as extra training, compliance services and consultation for user-specific applications may also be provided at the time of installation. Please discuss with your Agilent Sales representative before the installation is scheduled.

Dimensions and Weight
Identify the laboratory bench space before your instrument arrives based on the following table.
Pay special attention to the total height and total weight requirements for all system components you have ordered and avoid bench space with overhanging shelves.
Special notes
The module dimensions and weight allow placement on almost any desk or laboratory bench. An additional 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) of space on either side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear is needed for air circulation and electric connections. The ELSD requires an additional approximately 15 cm (5.9 inches) of space in the rear for air circulation and electric connections. If the bench is to carry a complete HPLC system, ensure it is designed to bear the weight of all modules. The autosampler module, especially with a sample thermostat installed, should be operated in a proper horizontal position.
To calculate the height of the stack, sum the height of the individual modules. If a solvent cabinet (p/n 5067-6871) is placed on top, add 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) floor level of the solvent cabinet, plus the height of the bottles, plus the height of bottle head assemblies in use. The solvent cabinet has the following dimensions (height x depth x width): 92 x 436 x 396 mm (3.6 x 17.2 x 15.6 inches).

Environmental Conditions
Operating your instrument within the recommended temperature ranges ensures optimum instrument performance and lifetime.
Special notes
Performance can be affected by sources of heat and cold, e.g., direct sunlight, heating/cooling from air conditioning outlets, drafts, and/or vibrations.
The laboratory's ambient temperature conditions must be stable for optimum performance.
Heat, cold, or vibration generated from other InfinityLab LC Series modules, which are installed according to instructions provided by Agilent Technologies, do not affect the performance of the LC system.
The following table summarizes some key physical specifications. For the complete set of physical specifications, please refer to the corresponding module's manual.

Power Consumption
Special notes
If a computer system is supplied with your instrument, be sure to account for those electrical outlets.
The heat dissipation can be calculated from the active power, using the following equation: 1 W = 3.413 BTU/h

Required Operating Supplies by Customer for Installation
Special notes
Download the Essential Chromatography and Spectroscopy Supplies Catalogs for a complete overview about available supplies for your new and existing Agilent Instruments https://www.agilent.com/en-us/products/lab-supplies
Special Requirements
Solvent requirements
Customer should have available HPLC grade solvents (acetonitrile, isopropanol, and water) with a dry residue below 1 ppm or MS grade solvents.
G7102A ELSD, G4260B ELSD
Gas requirements
A supply of inert gas (typically nitrogen) is required to operate these detectors. The gas supply needs to be free of oil, humidity and particles, as such contaminations will create background noise in the chromatograms and may damage the built-in pressure sensor. In case of such noise, flush the gas lines for sufficient time (might take days) and use additional filters of 0.5 µm or less. The typical gas pressure is 4 bar (60 psi) and must be set by an external pressure regulator. Pure gas is not required as the gas is only used as a carrier for the solid sample particles. The gas inlets of the detector have an outer diameter of 4 mm (0.157 inches). The lab installation must therefore allow the installation of a tubing with 4 mm (0.157 inches) outer diameter. Gas consumption is typically 0.9 SLM to 3.25 SLM, depending on the detector settings.

Precautions: Solvent Vapors
Vapor sensors are used inside and outside the enclosure of the Agilent 1290 Infinity II ELSD to alert the operator to solvent leaks. Liberal use of organic solvents in close proximity to the instrument may activate the vapor sensor, causing the instrument to shutdown.
Exhaust venting and drain requirements
The exhaust from the detector must be directed into a fume hood or exhaust vent. If a vacuum is used, it should be moderate so as to avoid turbulence in the optical chamber leading to a much reduced sensitivity of the detector. The potentially hazardous exhaust of evaporated solvent and sample must not be allowed to enter the laboratory atmosphere and any appropriate accessory like solvent filters should be disposed according to local environmental requirements.
If the extraction tube provided with the instrument is to be extended it is recommended that the diameter of the extension is increased to at least 50 mm (2 inches) diameter tubing so the extraction quality is not inhibited.
NOTE: Do not connect the exhaust vent directly to the detector. This might cause either positive pressure or negative back pressure, both of which will impact the quality of your measurement results.
The drain tube must be directed to a waste container. The user is responsible for decontamination or recycling of any residue, according to local environmental requirements.
Further requirements
The 1290 Infinity II ELSD (G7102A) and the 1260 Infinity II ELSD (G4260B) can be controlled either via RS232 or via LAN. If the RS232 interface is used for control, the ELSD must be installed close to the control PC unless special data transmission systems are used. The length of the straight female/female RS232 cable supplied with both detectors is 2.9 m.
G7167-60101 Sample Thermostat
The Sample Thermostat uses isobutane (R600a) as refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly but flammable. Therefore, make some special considerations for the safe operation of the device:
Keep open fire or sources of ignition away from the device.
Ensure a room size of 1 m³ for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the Sample Thermostat (total refrigerant loading is 30 g).
Ensure adequate ventilation: typical air exchange of 25 m³/h per m² of laboratory floor area.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
Keep the ventilation openings on the housing clear of any obstruction or blockage.
Stack Configurations
NOTE: Generally install a G7122A Degasser underneath the pump.

Recommended Mixed Stack Configuration in a 1290 Infinity System
NOTE: The optimal stack configuration may vary. For details, refer to the documentation of the system in use. General recommendations for the Multisampler: Stack the Multisampler at the same position as recommended for other autosamplers. Arrange the Multisampler coaxial to the other modules.
