tool-free maintenance— The Alliance System’s design helps maximize uptime by providing easy, tool-free access to pistons, seals, and seal-wash seals, as well as the lower needle-wash seal of the sample manager.

manage your sample workload— Up to 120 industry-standard vials can be accommodated in five individual sample carousels. Sample queues are quickly set up—whether it’s just one sample or a sequence of multiple methods from different analysts. The sample environment may be temperature-controlled and is compatible with light-sensitive samples.

ensure accuracy of results— The duration of the needle wash is user definable— it helps you to intelligently manage sample carryover concerns without using wash or rinse vials.

manage the separation process— Single or multiple columns may be temperature controlled via a column heater or column heater/cooler. Both provide extremely stable column environments, thanks to built-in forced air recirculation. Available integrated switching valves permit rapid column selection, enabling unattended HPLC method development.

minimize risks— Fully integrated fluid leak pathways provide peace of mind by ensuring that accidental leaks and spills are safely managed and directed out of harm’s way.

integrated fluidics— The integrated solvent and sample management functions ensure highly consistent system-to-system performance, bringing the highest reproducibility to your laboratory processes.

manage your lc solvents— The solvent management system degasses and blends up to four chromatographic solvents in precise proportions for smooth, pulse-free solvent delivery, while the latest PerformancePLUS™ check-valve technology assures minimal downtime.

Ensuring quality—Be confident about the quality of your raw materials and finished product. In a single run, you can test for adulterated materials earlier in your process, such as in vegetable oil origin and purity, shown above.

Sample vials

Waters’ line of HPLC vials and septa are certified for cleanliness by both LC and GC testing to ensure that you get your analysis right the first time.

Solvent management

Waters Alliance HPLC Systems employ a simplified fluidic pathway that utilizes a serial flow path with only two check valves— reducing complexity while enhancing overall ruggedness—across a flow range that covers two orders of magnitude.

• Dependable performance—Due to a simplified serial flow path with two check valves

• Automatic solvent compressibility—Provides worry-free solvent delivery for highly reproducible retention times—with any solvents

• Fixed gradient volume—Ensures consistent, predictable chromatography—regardless of system back pressure

• Flexible flow rate—Programmable without hardware modifications, across a flow range of 50 microliters to 5 milliliters per minute

• improved uptime—Standard equipment includes an automated, active plunger seal wash

Sample management

The Alliance HPLC System’s sample management design ensures precise sampling—delivering predictable peak areas, and thus more consistent results—thanks to:

• Five independent carousels—Run samples in one carousel while prepping the sequence in the next; new samples/carousels can be added without disturbing the ongoing queue

• Sampling routines—For automated reference, peak addition or automated pre-column derivitization procedures

• Reproducible injections—Select from one to hundreds of microliters, compatible with any analytical-scale HPLC column chemistry

• Variable volume injections—No need to change loops for analytical methods

• Programmable needle injection—Adjustable height accommodates various vial geometries (such as different vial bottom thicknesses)

• Programmable syringe draw-rate—Optimizes sampling performance with various solvent viscosities

• carryover management—Controlled via a programmable needle wash cycle and an active needle wash solution

• consistent sample environment—Samples are kept at a constant temperature and shielded from exposure to ambient light

• Simplified routine maintenance—The seal wash frit and injection syringe are easy to access and change without tools

Flexible sample management—Built-in functions, such as “Auto Add,” allow users to make sample injections that are composed of aliquots from multiple vials, one

of which is the sample vial. A delay time may be preset to allow the sample to passively mix prior to injection.

Support at your fingertips

The Alliance Interactive System Support CD ships with every Alliance HPLC System and contains basic troubleshooting and maintenance information to help keep your Alliance System running at its best.

The CD contains 70 minutes of video clips showing you step-by-step and easy-to-follow maintenance procedures, detailed troubleshooting information, tools to help you document your methods or system set-up, guidelines for optimum performance, and links to the Waters website for fast access to additional information, support, and training courses for the Alliance Systems.
