Supercritical Fluid Chromatography System
Tenfold Increase in Sensitivity

The 1200 Series Analytical Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) System combines Agilent's 1200 Series Rapid Resolution LC System with the Aurora SFC Fusion A5 for conversion of gaseous CO2to the supercritical state.

A tenfold increase in sensitivity is achieved by a combined Aurora and Agilent solvent delivery system, as well as a high-pressure SFC detector cell. The 1200 Series SFC uses standard-grade carbon dioxide instead of expensive liquid SFC-grade carbon dioxide, lowering operating costs.

Stefan Schuette, Agilent Senior Marketing Director, Liquid Chromatography Business, says SFC has several benefits over traditional HPLC, including significantly reduced consumption of organic solvent and ultrafast separation at moderate operating pressures using conventional particle size columns. SFC results in high separation efficiency due to improved mass transfer, he said. It provides higher sensitivity compared to existing systems due to low baseline noise and pulse-free metering.

SFC is similar to normal phase HPLC, but most of the mobile phase is replaced by liquid CO2. Also, Schuette added, the 1200 Series SFC can achieve a much shorter analysis time compared to standard HPLC, due to low viscosity and superior diffusion characteristics of supercritical mobile phase.

In addition to significant cost savings, higher flow rates are achieved with proportional increases in numbers of samples that can be run per shift.

Protein Mobility Measurement
Measure macromolecular electrophoretic mobilites

Rather than remaking an instrument designed to measure particulates, Wyatt Technology designed Mbiuζ to focus on the unique measurement of protein mobilities. Its the only laser-based device that achieves reproducible measurements of the mobilities of large particles such as liposomes and VLPs, as well as traditionally challenging protein samples including antibody formulations, bovine serum albumin and lysozyme.

Mbiuζ incorporates several innovations to achieve fast and reliable measurements of macromolecular electrophoretic mobilities. Its patent-pending detection process achieves increased detection sensitivity: 2 mg/mL lysozyme or 0.5 mg/mL BSA.

The WyattQELS option, which uses backward scattered light to determine the sample translational diffusion coefficient, simultaneously measures the macromolecular hydrodynamic radius. Samples can be introduced by manual injection, an auto-sampler, syringe pump or an auto-titrator.

Featuring a non-invasive, laser light scattering method, Mbiuζ can measure molecular sizes below 2 nm, while a measurement time of less than 60 seconds helps to protect protein samples.

You dont want to disturb fragile samples, said Vincent Hsieh, R&D Scientist at Wyatt Technology. People might be enticed to apply up to 150 volts to a sample a higher velocity makes it easier to measure, but this can damage the sample.

The device also features temperature control and can perform automated temperature studies.

On-Demand LIMS
SaaS-Based, Enterprise-Class Solution

LIMS-on-Demand allows organizations of varying types and sizes to leverage all the benefits of an industry-leading LIMS solution without the time and cost typically associated with on-premise software installation.

Offering flexibility and ease-of-use, LIMSon- Demand helps organizations replace inefficient, error-prone manual processes with an automated data management solution. For the cost of a monthly subscription fee, users can easily and securely create workflows, map sample lifecycles, and generate automatic updates from any standard Internet connection and through any web browser.

The user-friendly interface enables connectivity with a variety of internal instruments and systems, as well as external facilities, partners and regulatory agencies.

Kim Shah, Director of Marketing and Informatics at Thermo Fisher Scientific, says too many labs around the world are still using manual processes to manage the intricacies of workflow and data collection. There are tens of thousands of small- to medium-sized labs out there that dont have access to databases and dont have IT people, he said. All the headaches of hosting a server, maintenance, upgrading, data securityall of that stuff is now Thermo Fishers responsibility.

In addition to seamless connectivity, LIMS-on-Demand touts affordable operating costs. We have developed an lower laboratory management solution that does not sacrifice functionality, Shah added.
