Device based on the concept of a two-position valve; in the first position the mobile phase passes continuously through one side of the valve while the sample passes through the other side of the valve; rotation of the valve through 180° then enables the mobile phase to sweep the fixed volume of sample into the column. 2, record 6, English, - sampling%20valve
