Advanced features and capabilities make the
3240 a welcome addition to the line of high-throughput VERITY purification
systems
HPLC pumps can excel in certain aspects, for
instance, in the ability to achieve high-flow rates, form gradients, or
accommodate multiple solvents and columns. With most systems, however, there is
typically a trade-off between performance and user-friendly capabilities.
The VERITY 3240 is a high-pressure binary
gradient pump designed for straightforward integration with Gilson’s VERITY
purification platforms. The advanced features make the pump extremely capable of
user-friendly, automated, high-throughput workflows.
A Preparative Pump with a Large, Dynamic
Flow Range
At its core, the VERITY 3240 is a
high-pressure binary gradient pump built for semi-preparative and preparative
purifications. This pump is intended to provide researchers with improved
specifications for a broader range of applications. Key performance features
include:
The ability to perform binary gradients
with pulse-free, stable solvent flow for a wide variety of liquids, including
high-viscosity solvents.
High-pressure pumping at flow rates up to
150 mL/min and pressures up to 420 bar (6090 psi).
Compatibility with mobile phase buffers and
ion pairing reagents, with washable pump heads to ensure long-lasting usage.
Reproducible and Flexible Purification
The VERITY 3240 Pump delivers reproducible
and precise elution gradients to achieve repetitive isolations of targeted
compounds.
The unit can effectively work with
preparative HPLC columns from 10 mm to 50 mm ID, allowing for scaling up
purification from milligrams up to tens of grams on the same Gilson automated
purification platforms.
Efficient Solvent Selection
The VERITY 3240 Pump can be equipped with
two to four inlet solvent selectors, allowing solvent switching (up to 4)
without user intervention.
The system supports high throughput
purification using different column types, allowing for quick column cleaning
and regeneration.
Innovative Design
The 3240 pump is enhanced with multiple
features intended to maximize efficiency.
The compact design allows for placement of
additional HPLC system modules on top of the pump, saving valuable bench space.
Purification automation is made more
convenient by allowing users to access multiple solvents without changing
bottles.
Routine maintenance is simplified by
providing quick access to pump components that may wear, such as seals and
check valves.
On top of these features, the VERITY 3240
is fully and exclusively controlled by powerful Trilution® Software, which is integrated into the portfolio of VERITY purification systems.
High flow rates allow the use of the latest
polymeric columns at high pressure.
An exclusive integrated pressure, purge,
and mixing module (PPMM) supports precision gradient composition across the
complete flow range.
Purification can be run overnight using a
leak tray with optional leak sensor. An alarm in the software will be triggered
if unintended liquid is detected.
A glass door protects hydraulic components,
and front panel indicator lights inform users of the pump status: running, idle,
or if an error has occurred.
Accessible standard spare parts are
included to support easy maintenance.
Designed to be part of a modular
preparative HPLC system.
Summary
The VERITY 3240 pump is an economical and
compact pumping solution that is a welcome addition to the line of
high-throughput VERITY purification systems. The state-of-the-art features of
the 3240 enable high-performance separation power without compromising user
accessibility.
