Product Overview
The Agilent G1311-69701 is an Active Inlet Valve assembly engineered as a precision fluid-handling spare for Agilent 1100, 1200, and 1260 Infinity series HPLC pump modules. This component serves as the primary inlet control element on the low-pressure side of the analytical pump, using an electronically actuated solenoid mechanism to synchronize valve opening with the pump piston intake stroke. By actively gating solvent flow rather than relying on passive check-ball behavior, the valve improves volumetric repeatability, reduces pulsation, and supports stable gradient performance in demanding chromatographic methods. As a factory-specified replacement part, it restores original flow accuracy and retention-time reproducibility to the instrument.
