Waters designed the ACQUITY M-Class UPLC system to perform a range of chromatographic separations from nano to micro scale. With maximum operating pressures of 15,000 psi (1034 bar; 103,421 kPa) and an analytical flow rate of 100 μL/min, the system produces optimal linear velocity for columns that range from 75 μm to 1.0 mm ID.
M-Class System with Dual-pump trapping configuration:
- Solvent Tray
- Trap valve Manager
- μSample Manager – fixed loop
- μBinary Solvent Manager
- Auxiliary Solvent Manager
- PDA Photo Diode Array Detector
- Empower Data System
Features:
- System components are optimized for use with sub-2-μm, particle liquid chromatography, and reduced fluid volumes.
- Low solvent consumption (significantly less than conventional HPLC)
- Colums, tubings, and fittings support flow rates for a gradient elution from 200 nL/min to 100 μL/min at 15,000 psi.
- Solvent Managers with flow control moduels provide accurate NanoFlow rates
- Auxiliary solvent manager comprises two isocratic pumps.
