Fast liquid chromatograph

Dionex has expanded its family of HPLCs with the UltiMate 3000 Rapid Separation LC (RSLC) system. RSLC is for ultra-fast high-resolution LC, as well as conventional HPLC applications.

The system’s flexibility is provided by an extensive flow-pressure footprint, delivering flow rates up to 5 mL/min at backpressures of up to 800 bar. The LC features autosampler cycle times of 15 s, oven temperatures up to 110°C, and data collection rates up to 100 Hz, even when acquiring UV/vis spectra.

The system is complemented by a new set of Acclaim RSLC 2 µm columns, also with an 800 bar pressure ring, to provide high-efficiency separations with very short run times.

The UltiMate 3000 RSLC system is part of Dionex Intelligent LC (LCi) solutions with Chromeleon Chromatography Management Software and a method speed-up calculator for easy conversion of conventional LC methods to fast LC methods. Chromeleon enables instantaneous data calculation to complement the ultra-fast separations of RSLC.
