     ⚙️ Module-by-Module Technical Specifications

     1. Solvent Delivery Module: ICS-5000 SP-5 (High-Precision Isocratic Pump)

     • Pump Type: Dual-piston in-series positive displacement pump, microprocessor-controlled with a direct-drive mechanism that eliminates the need for mechanical pulse dampers.

     • Operating Flow Rate Range:

       • Analytical Range: 0.001 to 10.000 mL/min (adjustable in 0.001 mL/min increments).

       • Capillary Range (if capillary pump pod is installed): 0.001 to 3.000 mL/min.

     • Flow Rate Precision: $< 0.1\%$ variation.

     • Maximum Operating Pressure: 3,000 psi ($21\text{ MPa}$) for standard analytical continuous operation.

     • Pressure Limits: User-configurable high/low pressure safety limits via software for automatic system shutdown protection.

     2. Detector/Chromatography Module: ICS-5000 DC-5

     • Thermal Zones: Up to 3 independent temperature zones featuring an outstanding stability of $\pm 0.05^\circ\text{C}$.

     • Column Enclosure Temperature Range: From $10^\circ\text{C}$ to $40^\circ\text{C}$ (utilizing thermoelectric/Peltier cooling) or up to $70^\circ\text{C}$ in high-temperature zones, ensuring an ultra-stable baseline regardless of ambient laboratory temperature fluctuations.

     • Injection Capacity: Supports electrically actuated, low-dispersion 6-port or 10-port automated injection valves.

     • Detector Compatibility: Accommodates simultaneous or optional installation of Conductivity Detectors (CD) with thermostated cells, Electrochemical/Amperometric Detectors (ED), or UV-Vis optical flow cells.

     3. Automated Injection Module: Autosampler AS-AP

     • Injection Precision:

       • $< 0.3\%\text{ RSD}$ at conventional analytical injection volumes ($\ge 20\ \mu\text{L}$).

       • $< 1.0\%\text{ RSD}$ at capillary-level micro-injections ($0.4\ \mu\text{L}$).

     • Injection Volume Range: Configurable from $0.1\ \mu\text{L}$ up to $5000\ \mu\text{L}$ (depending on the installed sample loop size).

     • Sample Preservation: Optional internal sample cooling capabilities ($4^\circ\text{C}$ to $40^\circ\text{C}$) to protect biological or thermally sensitive samples from degradation.

     • Needle Mechanism: High-speed XYZ axis movement with automated internal and external needle rinsing between samples to reduce carryover to less than 0.005%.
