Abstract:
A sample injector for use in a fluid separation system for separating compounds of a fluidic sample in a mobile phase, the sample injector comprising a switchable valve, a sample loop in fluid communication with the valve and configured for receiving the fluidic sample, a metering device in fluid communication with the sample loop and configured for introducing a metered amount of the fluidic sample on the sample loop, and a control unit configured for controlling switching of the valve to transfer the sample loop between a low pressure state and a high pressure state via an intermediate state and for controlling the metering device during the intermediate state to at least partially equilibrate a pressure difference in the sample loop between the low pressure state and the high pressure state.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 2  wherein isolating the sample loop from the high-pressure fluidic path includes placing an injection valve in a PRESSURE COMPENSATION position in which\n first and second sample loop ports of the injection valve are closed so as to facilitate pressurization of the sample loop, and \n first and second high-pressure ports of the injection valve are connected so as to operatively connect the high-pressure pump to the liquid chromatography column.
