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 20):
The method of  claim 16 , in which the sample loop includes a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece, in which the first connecting piece is connected to the first sample loop port of the injection valve and to the metering device, in which the second connecting piece is connected to the second sample loop port of the injection valve and to the metering device, in which the second connecting piece includes a needle and a seat capillary, in which the needle and the seat capillary are configured to be separated.
