Eksigent, a developer of advanced low-flow fluid delivery technologies for life science applications, has introduced the ExpressHT-Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, providing short cycle times and high throughput for LC/MS studies. With cycle times as short as 60 seconds, the ExpressHT-Ultra can run six 96-well sample plates overnight.
Running at a maximum pressure of 10,000 psi, the system enables the use of small particle stationary phases to deliver narrow peaks to the mass spectrometer. Employing columns with diameters of <1 mm, the Express HT-Ultra uses up to 95% less solvent per analysis than traditional HPLC systems.
Eksigent’s proprietary Microfluidic Flow Control (MFC) technology generates accurate and reproducible flow rates from nanolitres per minute to hundreds of microlitres per minute. The Eksigent control software includes integrated drivers for the most widely used mass spectrometry programs.
