Shimadzu Scientific Instruments introduces the Nexera ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system for high-speed and high-resolution analysis.
Nexera is optimised to enable analysis at pressures up to 130 MPa.
Without compromising data quality, the maximised 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 ternary high-pressure gradient and multi-dimensional LC.
The system is also suitable for LC-MS applications.
Nexera's fast 10s injection enables quick chromatography to shorten cycle time and results in true high throughput with 4,600+ sample capacity.
Nexera's injection port and fine-tipped needle, along with additional features such as multiple-rinse solvent selection and injection port and internal needle rinse, reduce carryover to a minimum.
The autosampler offers fixed-loop injection for ultra-fast separation with minimised peak width and gradient delay.
An overlapping injection function is standard with Nexera to allow for a maximum reduction in cycle time.
For high-temperature LC analysis, Nexera offers pre-heating for solvents for stable and reliable conditions.
The Intelligent Heat Balancer (IHB) minimises band broadening during high-temperature analysis through the use of independently controlled heat zones within the column compartment, ensuring accurate column temperature regardless of flow rate.
The post-column cooler can reduce detector noise when equipped for high-temperature analysis up to 150C.
