Chromatography: High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (Shimadzu)

What is it?
High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC)

Manufacturer: Shimadzu

Model Name: LC-2050C 3D

Applications: Qualitative and quantitative analyses of compounds/ analytes. Used in food, drug, environmental, chemical and life sciences applications

Instrument Overview: LC is the most widely-used of all the analytical separation techniques. The reasons for its popularity include its sensitivity, ready adaptability to accurate quantitative determinations, ease of automation, suitability for separating non-volatile species or thermally fragile ones, and widespread applicability to substances that are important to industry and many fields of science. Examples include amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, drugs, pesticides, antibiotics, steroids, metal-organic species, etc.


Technical features and specifications: The LC-2050C 3D is an all-in-one system with system controller, solvent delivery pump, autosampler, detectors and column oven. Method scouting can be carried out with this LC model to determine optimum analysis conditions, thus improving method development efficiency.
