Agilent Technologies has introduced a personal flash chromatography instrument for pharmaceutical chemists.
The Agilent 971-FP flash purification system is claimed to offer the fast, secure purification of new synthetic compounds.
The instrument features a new software interface designed to provide the straightforward operation and tracking of samples.
The Guide Me wizard simplifies setup and eliminates much of the tedious method development.
The Six-Clicks touch-screen dialogue makes separations even more convenient, simplifying a previously cumbersome procedure, according to the company.
The new system enables chemists to use thin-layer chromatography results to optimise flash methods.
It even allows them to make changes mid-run, further minimising method development time.
The Agilent 971-FP system is designed to achieve maximum the recovery and purity of milligrams through tens of grams of target compound in minutes.
Several instrument features are designed to secure the recovery of precious samples.
The instrument's pulsed xenon lamp reduces warm-up time by approximately 10 minutes compared with standard ultraviolet detectors, increasing productivity.
The bubble detector reduces solvent priming time to further accelerate analysis.
