Applications
-
- Saccharides contained in fruit juices can be analyzed simultaneously.
- There is no need to prepare the mobile phase since analysis can be done using only water as mobile phase.
- The integrated HPLC system allows for the installation of a refractive index detector without changing the footprint.
i-Series Integrated High-Performance Liquid Chromatographs
Achieves High-Reliability Analysis through Automatic Diagnosis of Instrument Status prior to Analysis
The LC-2070 and the LC-2080, two models of i-Series integrated high-performance liquid chromatographs feature heightened data reliability and operational efficiency while carrying over the robustness, stability, and data compatibility of previous series. Additionally, for the first time in this series, recycled resins have been adopted for the outer panels and the main housing, thereby lessening the environmental impact.
The i-Series are compact, tabletop models, but provide high basic performance and quick analysis. In total, more than 43000 units have been sold worldwide, primarily to pharmaceutical companies. In the two models being released, a function has been added to diagnose the status of the major units automatically at instrument startup, as well as intelligent Column Management Platform (iCMP), an optionally available function that provides consolidated management of column information. The i-Series maintains the robustness required for all routine analysis required for quality control and enhances operational efficiency and consistency of data acquisition regardless of operator experience level. Additionally, the LC-2070 and LC-2080 use the method development software LabSolutions MD, so in addition to routine analysis, new analysis methods can be developed to suit the objective.
