The next generation LC-20AP Preparative LC Pump can be used for analytical, semi-prep and prep LC applications without changing pump heads. It offers accurate and repeatable flows over a wide range up to 150 mL/min. This pump supports purification on the hundreds of milligrams scale per injection.
- High flow rates (up to 150 mL/min) enable highly efficient, large-scale preparative fractionation
- Large-scale prep solvent delivery fully supports the preparative fractionation workflow including reinjection to assess purity
- Higher resolution micro-stepping motor control improves flow rate accuracy and precision by minimizing dead volume in the pump heads
- If configured as an analytical/prep system, a user can develop a method at analytical scale then immediately convert the method for prep scale. Shimadzu provides a tool to easily convert methods between analytical and prep for support customers.
- Consumes 40% less energy in comparison with the previous model thanks to a newly designed high-efficiency power supply and motor control electronics.
The LC-20AP offers a high level of core performance for a wide range of applications, from analytical to large-scale fractionation. Even though it is especially well-suited to laboratory scale automated continuous fractionation using large-scale preparative columns (20 to 50 mm I.D.), it can also be used with analytical size columns (1 mL/min) for applications ranging from the evaluation of separation conditions and load capacities to validating the purity of fractionated liquids. The LC-20AP not only offers a high level of core performance, but also significantly reduces power consumption over previous products.
