    Abstract: Described is a method for regulating a volume of liquid delivered by a peristaltic pump and a peristaltic pump system that can be used to perform the method. The method includes sensing an ambient temperature of the peristaltic pump. The peristaltic pump includes a pump motor. At least one of a motor speed and a motor operation duration is determined from the sensed temperature, a selected volume of liquid to be delivered and a predetermined correspondence of the motor speed to ambient temperature. The pump motor is operated at the determined motor speed or for the determined motor operation duration to deliver the selected volume of liquid from the peristaltic pump.

    Abstract: Described is a solvent manager for a liquid chromatography system. The solvent manager includes a temperature control module, a plurality of solvent reservoirs, a gradient proportioning valve and a degasser. The temperature control module maintains a substantially constant temperature of one or more of the plurality of solvent reservoirs, gradient proportioning valve and degasser. The temperature control module may include a thermal chamber having an enclosure with a thermally controlled internal environment and may also include an active thermal element such as one or more heaters. The enclosure may surround at least one of the plurality of solvent reservoirs, gradient proportioning valve and degasser. The temperature control module reduces the negative effects on solvent composition that result from temperature-dependent changes in solvent viscosities and solvent densities. Such changes affect the retention times of analytes eluted from the chromatographic column.
