Better determination of cyanate in protein buffers
Cyanate is an undesirable byproduct of urea-containing buffers which can cause carbamylation reactions adversely affecting protein stability, efficiency, and function
Bromate determination with EPA methods 317 and 326
The US EPA Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water has approved the use of electrolytically generated hydroxide eluents and associated hydroxide-selective columns for methods 317.0 and 326.0
It uses large-area Peltier elements for fast cooling and heating to set points from 5-85C, and its forced-air design ensures efficient heat exchange and stable, homogenous temperatures throughout the entire compartment.
An optional eluent preconditioner further improves performance at high temperatures.
The TCC-100 thus combines the advantages of classical forced-air thermostats with those of block-heating thermostats.
Regulatory compliance is simplified with the TCC-100's microchip-based column identification system, which automatically documents all important column parameters in audit trails and reports.
Instrument qualification (IQ, OQ and PQ) is also automatic, using Dionex AutoQ equipment qualification procedures.
Reliability of all Summit instruments is enhanced via 'system wellness' technology, which monitors important instrument parameters and provides timely notification of any sub-optimal conditions, thus preventing loss of time and samples.
A six-port column-switching valve is available as an option and can be installed inside the temperature-controlled compartment.
The TCC-100 stacks neatly in the Summit HPLC system tower, minimising total bench space requirements.
The instrument can be operated with Chromeleon software or in stand-alone mode.
Summit HPLC systems combine advanced HPLC pumps and autosamplers with a choice of high-sensitivity detectors to provide uncompromised performance.
When used in combination with the versatile Chromeleon chromatography management system, the Summit HPLC system adapts to the most demanding HPLC requirements. Request a free brochure from Dionex ...
