Shimadzu UFLC

The Prominence UFLC System is up to 10 times faster than a conventional HPLC system that uses a 5-µm particle column. This performance is achieved while maintaining high-quality analytical results not possible on specialized systems that incorporate design concessions due to extreme pressure requirements. 

Key to the system is the SIL-20A autosampler, capable of a 10-second injection cycle while delivering. With Shim-pack XR Series columns, Prominence UFLC can provide high-speed, high-resolution analysis at pressures below 30 MPa (300 kgf/cm2). The columns are available with inner diameters of 2, 3 or 4.6 mm and lengths of 30, 50, 75 or 100 mm, allowing FAST LC to be performed on conventional HPLC equipment.

With its micro-plunger design, the LC-20AD solvent-delivery system provides unmatched gradient resolution and reproducibility, and has a delivery range of 100 nL/min to 10 mL/min. Prominence UFLC is versatile and can accept an assortment of flow-control valves and a column-switching system, allowing it to be used for many other applications, such as two-dimensional HPLC or micro to semi-micro analysis.  

When presented with a unique challenge that demands the use of longer columns for extra resolution, users can convert their current Prominence UFLC to a Prominence UFLCXR system, which is capable of system pressures up to 9500 psi (66MPa). Unlike many high-pressure systems, the system delivers data with high integrity and reproducibility, a result of fully re-engineered components in the injection valve. Together, they represent the ultimate solution for ultra-fast analysis.
