MistraSwitch NG 

Column Selection - Temperature Controlled
Fully Automated
Temperature Controlled
Column Selection for up to
9 HPLC/UHPLC Columns + Bypass


MistraSwitch NG2 and NG3 
temperature controlled column selector 

The MistraSwitch NG system solution is designed for fully automated selection for up to 9 HPLC + bypass or UHPLC columns (up to 15kpsi) or 5 UHPLC columns + bypass (up to 15kpsi) under temperature control using a Jasco CO 4060 or CO 4065 column thermostat. The system consists of the MistraSwitch NG valve box which is equipped with two MayLab MS 6000 valve drives, and the MS 6000 NG interface.

Software drivers for chromatography data systems must be ordered separately.

  • Unrivalled temperature stability and –precision (both values better than 0.1°C)
  • Valve switching speed less than 100 ms
  • Patented microprocessor controlled valve actuating
  • USB control
  • Very rugged, reliable and laboratory proven construction

MistraSwitch NG Interfacing
Chromatography Data Systems


Fully automated temperature controlled column selection within a chromatography data system is the most efficient way for unattended and overnight operation when using different methods with different columns and temperature.

Software drivers are available for:

  • Agilent ChemStation 16 bit and 32 bit
  • Agilent EZChrom Elite V 3.1.4 and higher
  • Dionex Chromeleon V 6.4 and higher
  • AB Sciex Analyst V 1.4.1 and higher (tested up to version 1.7)
  • Thermo Scientific ChomQuest V 4.1 and higher
  • Thermo Scientific Xcalibur V 1.4 and higher (tested up to version 4.0)
  • Agilent EZChrom Elite V 3.1.4 and higher

The drivers named above are designed to report every error (e.g. faulty valve)
through message boxes and will stop the actual running method immediately.

MistraSwitch NG and GLP
(Good Laboratory Practice)

Both MS 6000 valve drives are selecting the column at exactly the same time. The actual column position is constantly being reported to the MS 6000 NG Interface and to the driver software. The actual oven temperature is also constantly being reported to the software.
Each switching cycle is recorded in a log file, including action, time and date stamp due to GLP reasons for each day. By this means the systems activities will be manageable and reproducible for the operator.

MistraSwitch NG and Valve Configuration

For column selection two of the approved VICI Cheminert high- (up to 5000 psi) or ultra high (up to 20000 psi) pressure valves with 1/16” fittings and 0.25 mm or 0.4 mm port diameter are used in combination with two MayLab MS 5000 valve drives and the MS 5000 Interface in synchronous operation.
This unique column selection on the column in and output decreases carry over and increases the system´s performance.

The MistraSwitch NG system solution is available for selecting 4, 6, 8 or 10 HPLC columns for up to 5000psi.

For pressures up to 15000psi or 20000psi a 6 column selector is available.
The 10 column UHPLC selector can be operated up to 15.000psi
