Shimadzu LC-40D HPLC System
The Shimadzu LC-40D HPLC System is engineered for high-performance liquid chromatography, delivering unparalleled precision for analytical and preparative separation tasks. This advanced system is especially ideal for fast UHPLC separations with minimal dispersion, significantly enhancing compound identification accuracy and streamlining impurity analysis.
Equipped with an efficient LC-40D pump, this system supports routine HPLC applications at pressures up to 44 MPa (440 bar), ensuring reliable performance across isocratic, binary, and low-pressure gradient modes. Its dual-piston design minimizes pulsation, resulting in a stable baseline that is critical for reproducible results.
Key Features:
- Low Pulsation and Stable Baseline: Incorporates a parallel dual micro plunger (10 µL) design that dramatically reduces pulsation, ensuring superior baseline stability necessary for precise analysis.
- Wide Flow Rate Range: Capable of delivering a flow rate from 0.1 µL/min to 10 mL/min, with an impressive accuracy of ±1% or ±2 µL/min (whichever is larger) and a precision of ≤0.06% RSD or 0.02 min SD (whichever is larger).
- Flexible Operation Modes: Operates seamlessly in constant flow or constant pressure modes and supports multiple configurations including isocratic, low-pressure gradient, ternary high-pressure gradient, and quaternary low-pressure gradient settings.
- FlowPilot Technology: Gradually ramps up pump flow, ensuring that the column reaches its set temperature before achieving target flow rates, protecting your valuable columns from damaging pressure shocks.
- Maintenance and Log Display: User-friendly interface displays essential metrics, including total operating time, solvent volume delivered per seal, and comprehensive logs for maintenance, errors, and operations, facilitating easy tracking and management.
- High Pressure Capacity: Designed to handle pressures up to 44 MPa (440 bar) at flow rates reaching 5 mL/min, compatible with a wide pH range of 1-14 for versatile application possibilities.
- Optional Solvent Selection: Features internal 2- or 4-channel solvent selection or an optional low-pressure gradient formation unit (LPGE), offering users greater flexibility in solvent choice and blending capabilities.
- Rinse Kit Compatibility: An optional rinse kit is available to wash behind the seals, effectively reducing salt precipitation issues when utilizing buffered mobile phases.
- Adjustable Compressibility Setting: Users can customize the compressibility settings to further minimize pulsation during operation, enhancing accuracy and reliability.
The Shimadzu LC-40D HPLC System stands out as a leading choice for laboratories seeking exceptional performance and reliability in high-pressure liquid chromatography.
