Reimagining UHPLC
Thermo Fisher Scientific recently launched a new ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system that aims to increase laboratory production levels whether it’s used with mass spectrometers or as a standalone system. The Vanquish UHPLC features a clean design and stands about 25 percent lower than comparable modular stacks for safety and convenience in the laboratory. The instrument itself combines the ruggedness of an integrated system with the flexibility and serviceability of a modular system. “Rather than making incremental improvements to UHPLC, Thermo Fisher Scientific has designed this system from the ground up,” said Fraser McLeod, vice president and general manager of HPLC at Thermo. “The result is a system that combines advantages in separations performance, sample throughput, ease-of-use, reproducibility and method transfer efficiency.” Along with the system comes a new family of UHPLC columns–Accucore Vanquish. The new columns feature 1.5 μm solid core particles utilizing Core Enhanced Technology to take advantage of the Vanquish system’s 1500 bar (22,000 psi) maximum pump pressure and flow rate up to 5mL/min for ultra-short diffusion path lengths and highly efficient separations. The Vanquish also includes a number of other interesting features, such as SmartFlow pumping technology designed for highly reproducible retention times and low baseline noise to enhance detection sensitivity; and an insulated autosampler compartment with new air-to-air cooling, which protects vials from water condensation, even in hot and humid environments. In addition, there are some cool optional features, such as a handheld tablet that lets users conveniently monitor system status, check runs, and make changes.

Exchange Flasks With One Hand Behind Your Back
A new rotary evaporator recently released by KNF Neuberger makes flask exchange much more straightforward. One of the key features of the whisperquiet RC 900 is that it allows a scientist to simply lock the flask into place using just one hand. “At KNF Lab, we pride ourselves on our strong reputation for producing solid, highperformance equipment for real laboratory situations,” said Jim Findlay, marketing manager of laboratory products at KNF. “The new RC 900 is a perfect example of this, making rotary evaporation more user-friendly than ever before.” Other new features that make the system easier to use include an adjustable knob that lets users set their optimum flask angle and wireless control of all evaporation functions through a touchscreen and control knob. A cordless heating bath with a pour spout encourages safe emptying without spilling and the system requires only minimal space on the lab bench. Dr. Alexander Scherer, chair of organic chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander- Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, who has beta-tested the new system in his laboratory, said he was happy with the instrument so far. “We exposed the RC 900 to real laboratory conditions, such as corrosive and aggressive solvents, and made further suggestions on how to make the system even easier to operate,” Dr. Scherer said. “KNF Lab took these suggestions on board and the result is a high-performance system that features a user-friendly, intuitive touchscreen and automated functions which really make life easier, helping to guarantee highly efficient and safe operation.” For more information, visit www.knfusa.com |
