The Agilent 1200 series RRLC system provides up to 20 times faster analysis and 60percent higher resolution than conventional HPLC, without sacrificing precision or sensitivity.
It is designed to provide the highest analysis speed and resolution while keeping system pressure at a minimum.
The result is higher performance coupled with the robustness of conventional HPLC.
The new 7890A GC, which Orchid purchased, is the latest generation of 40 years of innovation.
It delivers advanced separation capabilities, powerful productivity enhancements, and real-time self-monitoring and diagnostic intelligence.
Faster oven cool-down and robust backflushing let users analyse more samples in less time.
Fifth-generation electronic pneumatics control and digital electronics set a new standard for pressure setpoint and retention time locking precision.
