Waters nanoACQUITY Sample Manager Performance Maintenance Kit

Waters 201000182 nanoACQUITY Sample Manager PM Kit

The Waters 201000182 Performance Maintenance (PM) Kit provides all the critical, high-wear fluidic and pneumatic components required to restore the nanoACQUITY UPLC Sample Manager to factory specifications. Because nano-LC/MS workflows demand exceptionally low dead volumes and absolute injection precision, routine replacement of these components is mandatory to prevent sample loss, carryover, and baseline noise. This comprehensive kit includes a precision-engineered sample needle and inject valve pod to guarantee zero-dead-volume sample transfers, alongside fresh wash and injector syringes to ensure accurate nanoliter aspirations. By replacing aging tubing, loops, and vent valves before they fail, researchers can completely avoid the severe pressure drops and costly instrument downtime associated with degraded fluidic pathways.

Technical Performance and Design

• Inject Valve Pod & Needle: Replaces the primary sample contact points, eliminating the micro-scoring and wear that typically lead to sample carryover, ghost peaks, and poor injection reproducibility.

• Precision Syringes: Includes both the wash and injector syringes to restore perfectly smooth, leak-free aspirations, ensuring accurate sample loading and highly effective needle wash cycles.

• High-Pressure Fluidics: Fresh injector/system outlet tubes and a calibrated sample loop prevent the microscopic leaks and dead-volume expansions that cause peak tailing in sensitive nano-LC separations.

• System Protection: Includes a replacement vent valve cartridge, O-rings, and an air chassis filter to protect the instrument's delicate internal pneumatics from dust and airborne particulate contamination.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Proteomics & Biomarker Discovery: Essential for maintaining the flawless injection mechanics required during high-sensitivity bottom-up proteomics and targeted LC-MS/MS assays.

• Minimizes Unplanned Downtime: Performing proactive annual maintenance with this kit completely prevents the sudden, catastrophic fluidic failures that halt critical sample queues.

• Zero-Carryover Performance: A fresh valve pod and needle ensure that highly concentrated or "sticky" peptides do not contaminate subsequent dilute samples.

• All-in-One Convenience: Eliminates the need for lab managers to hunt down and order dozens of individual micro-fittings, ensuring the field service engineer or technician has everything needed for the rebuild.
