Proxeon has released its Easy-NLC II, optimised for LC-MS applications in proteomics and providing a new autosampler and upgraded software.
The Easy-NLC platform utilises a 'split-free' configuration to enhance sensitivity, reproducibility and system stability.
The autosampler features a fully insulated, refrigerated compartment with increased capacity for sample vials and wash solvents.
A novel 'intelligent flow control' feature enables runs to be preprogrammed to user-defined pressure limits, ensuring rapid buildup of pressure and flow, speeding up equilibration and sample-loading steps, and eliminating the interruptions that can occur due to pressure fluctuations.
In addition, the automated self-diagnostic tests of the Easy-NLC systems have been enhanced to ensure that users spend less time troubleshooting.
For example, the system can now pinpoint the location of solvent leaks.
Easy-NLC II systems are delivered pre-configured to interface, synchronise easily with any MS system and can be installed and running within hours.
Wizard-style programming assists with defining optimal running conditions.
The system is easily switched between one- or two-column configurations and, by using the autosampler as a third pump, can also be used to run two-dimensional mass-spectrometry analyses (2D LC-MS).
