Shimadzu introduces the Nexera ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system. The European premiere will take place during Anayltica show in Munich between March 23 and 26, 2010. The LC-30A Nexera delivers high-speed and high-resolution analysis without sacrificing basic performance parameters such as excellent precision, near-zero carryover, good linearity, stability and ruggedness. Offering these attributes enables Nexera to provide superior performance in various fields, covering high-resolution and high-speed separation, as well as high-sensitivity detection.
Shimadzu’s Nexera is optimized to enable analysis at pressures up to 130 MPa at 3mL/min. This allows for Fast Chromatography as well as highest resolution using long columns with small particles. Without compromising performance and data quality, the maximized pressure over a wide flow range enables various types of analyses, including micro LC to conventional LC, regular pressure LC to ultra high-pressure LC, and isocratic LC to multi-dimensional LC. The system is also suitable for MS applications.
New components, best materials and technologies
The CBM-20A control unit contains a modified software in order to control the new modules and functionalities, e.g. the autosampler. A new micro-reactor based mixer, fully developed components, best materials and technologies and new columns are important from the hardware side driving the performance.
High throughput and minimum carryover
Nexera’s fast injection — just 10 seconds — enables fast chromatography to shorten cycle time and result in true high throughput with 4,600+ sample capacity. The newly designed injection port and fine-tipped needle, along with additional features such as three-rinse solvent selection and injection port and internal needle rinse, reduce carryover to an absolute minimum.
New autosampler
Regarding carryover and reproducibility, the autosampler SIL-30AC exceeds the performance of the previous product and strengthen its outstanding position in the market. In addition to the well-established and precise DIIMS technique (Direct Injection with Isolated Metering System), the autosampler also offers fixed-loop injection for ultra-fast separation with minimized peak width and gradient delay.
