Abstract
Automated fluid handling system comprising a housing and two or more fluid handling units arranged as interchangeable modular components with an external fluidics section and an internal non fluidics section, and wherein the housing comprises a liquid handling panel with two or more of component positions for receiving said interchangeable modular components such that the external fluidics section is separated from the non fluidics section by the liquid handling panel.

1-14. (canceled)
An automated liquid chromatography system (100) comprising:
- a housing (20);
- and
- two or more fluid handling units (1-26) comprising:
- at least one inlet valve (6,9,15) for selecting buffers or samples to be used in a chromatography process,
- at least one injection valve (1) for directing a selected sample in a chromatography process onto a column,
- at least one outlet valve (18) for directing a flow to a fraction collector, and to any of outlet ports and a waste port,
- one column valve (2) for connection of columns to the chromatography system and directing the flow onto the column, and
- one PH valve (17) for directing the flow to a PH electrode or for bypassing at least one of the PH electrode,
- wherein the at least one inlet valve, the at least one injection valve, the at least one outlet valve, the column valve and the PH valve are arranged as interchangeable modular components,
- wherein the housing (20) comprises a liquid handling panel (22) with two or more component positions to receive the interchangeable modular components, so as to allow for customization of the position of the respective interchangeable modular component, wherein a fluid flow path is formed by a fluidic interconnection arrangement between the interchangeable modular.
