Abstract:
A sample injection method for liquid chromatography is performed with an injection valve having a waste port, two sample loop ports, and two high-pressure ports. One high-pressure port can be connected to a pump and the other high-pressure port can be connected to a chromatography column. A sample loop is connected to one of the sample loop ports on one end and to a pump volume of a sample conveying device on the other end. A section of the sample loop can be separated to facilitate receiving a sample fluid in the sample loop. A control unit controls the injection valve and the sample conveying device. The sample injector allows a sample to be loaded into the sample loop and then pressurized to an operating pressure prior to injecting the sample into the chromatography column. The sample loop may also be isolated from the operating pressure for facilitating depressurization of the loop.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 , 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 sample conveying device, in which the second connecting piece is connected to the second sample loop port of the injection valve and to the sample conveying device, in which the second connecting piece includes an intake segment and a feed segment, in which the intake segment and the feed segment are configured to be separated.
