IDEX Health & Science Understands the Challenges Associated with Modern UHPLC Separation
Are you looking to design a UHPLC system that enables bioseparations with increased resolution and high throughput? Include a suite of bioinert, metal-free UHPLC liquid chromatography products from IDEX Health & Science. When used together, our available suite of either standard or custom-designed products offers a complete solution for Bioinert UHPLC systems ideal for applications including bio-molecule analysis, protein characterization, and proteomics.
Injection Valves—BioVersal™
- Valve Pressure rated to 1,300 bar (130 MPa, 18,855 psi)
- Metal-free bioinert flow path
- Utilizes flat-face sealing ports for zero dead-volume connections
Sample Loops—BioVersal™
- Bioinert PEEK-lined stainless steel
- Face sealing ensures zero dead volume
- Finger-tight up to 1,310 bar (131 MPa, 19,000 psi)
Connections—MarvelXACT™
- Bioinert PEEK-lined stainless steel
- Torque limiting mechanism — cannot be overtightened
- Face sealing ensures zero dead-volume
- Minimizes carryover, peak broadening, and peak tailing
Columns—Bioinert Systems
- PEEK-lined SST column hardware for bioinert applications up to 1,034 bar (103 MPa, 15,000 psi)
- Combines the strength of our stainless steel UHPLC column (IsoBar) with the chemical inertness of PEEK polymer
- Eliminates unwanted surface interactions while allowing for a wide range of pH and solvent conditions
- Packing pressure rating 1,379 bar (138 MPa, 20,000 psi)
Film Degassers—HPLC Degassers
- Reinforced Teflon™ AF film, the degassing chamber has a metal-free flow path
- Universal solvent compatibility, which includes HFIP and Hexane
- Operates at highest possible pressure minimizing solvent loss to the laboratory atmosphere
- Consistent degassing efficiency for flow rates from 0 – 10 mL/min
- Ability to select any given efficiency of degassing for any HPLC system
