Eksigent has introduced the ExpressHT-Ultra HPLC system, providing short cycle times and high throughput for LC/MS studies of pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism.
This system is the latest offering in the company's line of products for small molecule analysis.
With cycle times as short as 60 seconds, the ExpressHT-Ultra can run six 96-well sample plates overnight.
Running at a maximum pressure of 10,000psi, the system enables the use of small particle stationary phases to deliver narrow peaks to the mass spectrometer.
Employing columns with diameters of 1mm or smaller, the ExpressHT-Ultra uses up to 95 per cent less solvent per analysis than traditional HPLC systems.
'Drug discovery and development researchers need a higher throughput LC solution to process ever-increasing numbers of samples,' said David Neyer, product manager for Eksigent.
'Our technology delivers fast separations at low flow rates to meet the growing demands of LC/MS applications.' Eksigent's microfluidic flow control (MFC) technology generates accurate and reproducible flow rates from nanolitres per minute to hundreds of microlitres per minute.
The Eksigent control software includes integrated drivers for the most widely used mass spectrometry programmes.
