Key Definitions â–¶
Thermostatted Column Compartment (TCC)
A temperature-controlled module that stabilizes LC column temperature to support consistent retention times, peak shape, and reproducibility.
Heat Exchanger
A precision-engineered device used to equilibrate mobile-phase temperature before it enters the column, reducing thermal gradients and improving method robustness.
Column Tag
An RFID or barcode identifier used to track column parameters such as serial number, usage history, and temperature conditions within InfinityLab LC systems.
Thermal Stability
The ability of the LC system to maintain a narrow temperature range during analysis—critical for reproducibility and retention-time–sensitive methods.
Column Conditioning
The process of equilibrating a column at a defined temperature and mobile-phase composition to establish a stable baseline and consistent chromatographic performance.
Frequently Asked Questions â–¶
Why is temperature control important in LC separations?
Column temperature directly affects retention time, peak shape, and reproducibility. A thermostatted column compartment minimizes thermal variation, helping ensure consistent analytical results.
When should a heat exchanger be replaced?
Replace heat exchangers when temperature equilibration becomes inconsistent or when pressure fluctuations suggest thermal imbalance. Genuine Agilent components help preserve baseline stability and system accuracy.
Are Chrom Tech column compartment supplies genuine Agilent parts?
Yes. Chrom Tech is an authorized Agilent distributor and supplies only OEM-certified components fully compatible with InfinityLab LC systems.
Do I need to recalibrate methods after replacing column tags?
No. Column tags store identification and usage data but do not affect chromatographic performance. They support traceability and automated column tracking.
How often should column compartments be serviced?
Service intervals vary by usage, but annual inspection is recommended. Regular checks of heat exchangers, airflow paths, and temperature sensors help maintain precise thermal performance.
