Shimadzu’s Nexera UHPLC Delivers the Ultimate in LC/MS(/MS) Front End Performance
COLUMBIA, Md., June 23, 2010 — The new Nexera ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system builds on Shimadzu’s foundation as the leader in HPLC front ends for mass spectrometry, delivering the speed, resolution and reliability, as well as pulse-free operation, for the most demanding LC/MS(/MS) applications.
Because high-sensitivity analysis of complex samples is necessary, the front-end component for LC/MS(/MS) must decrease its carryover to zero. With a newly designed injection port and fine-tipped needle, along with additional features such as multiple-rinse solvent selection and injection port and internal needle rinse, the Nexera SIL-30AC autosampler reduces carryover to an absolute minimum. The SIL-30AC also features an ultrafast injection speed — just 10 seconds — as well as an overlapping injection function to allow for a maximum reduction in cycle time.
In addition, the LC-30AD pump features an automatic pulsation-correction mechanism and a high-speed parallel micro plunger design to provide pulse-free solvent delivery and excellent retention time reproducibility, even in ultra-high speed gradient conditions. Moreover, a new mixer (MiRC) conceived from the study of micro reactor technologies delivers efficient, low-volume mixing for even the most difficult analysis, thereby minimizing gradient delay.
Nexera’s modular components interact with the precision of an integrated system while allowing users to design and upgrade a system to fit their application requirements.
