Liquid Chromatography Instruments
Liquid chromatography instruments separate sample components by passing a liquid mobile phase through a stationary phase.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Liquid chromatography is a technique used to separate a sample into its individual parts. This separation occurs based on the interactions of the sample with the mobile and stationary phases. Because there are many stationary/mobile phase combinations that can be employed when separating a mixture, there are several different types of chromatography that are classified based on the physical states of those phases. Liquid-solid column chromatography, the most popular chromatography technique and the one discussed here, features a liquid mobile phase which slowly filters down through the solid stationary phase, bringing the separated components with it.
Gradient composition and flow determine separation conditions. Pressure capability, dwell volume and injection behaviour influence method transfer.
Column chemistry creates selectivity; a UV, fluorescence or other detector supplies a different measurement response. Instrument hardware and analytical method must be assessed together.
What turns activity into demand
Laboratory demand follows methods, sample throughput and the configuration needed to execute them. The LC system, columns, sample preparation and optional mass spectrometer are separate supplied items.
The commercial boundary
The LC system, columns, sample preparation and optional mass spectrometer are separate supplied items.
