Product news

Zivak Multitasker is a fully automated UHPLC System which can automate many different analysis methods. The robotic arms carry out sample preparation steps such as barcode reading and sample transfer from primary sample tubes, reagent adding, vortex mixing, centrifugation, and online SPE without any user intervention and inject the prepared sample. All you have to do is to place your primary sample tubes, start the analysis and get your results.

Zivak Multitasker delivers a solution to low throughput in chromatography analysis, eliminates manual sample preparation related errors and allows you to make the most of your MS/MS instrument by converting it to a walk-away routine clinical analyzer. Zivak Multitasker works connected to a MS/MS instrument and it is compatible with a wide range of brands and models.

Zivak VD-200 is the World’s first walk away vitamin D2-D3 UHPLC analyzer. All sample preparation steps are fully automated with robotic arms: barcode reading and sample transferring from primary sample tubes, reagent adding, vortex mixing and centrifugation. VD-200 prepares and injects the sample without any user intervention and gives results in 6 minutes. This 6 minutes analysis time includes all sample preparation steps, injection and chromatographic run.

HPLC is a gold standard method alternative to LC-MS/MS and according to LC-MS/MS – VD-200 comparison study, Zivak VD-200 gives as accurate and precise results as LC-MS/MS vitamin D2-D3 analysis thanks to its highly sensitive UV detector. Zivak VD-200 will allow you to get accurate vitamin D2-D3 results in 6 minutes from placing primary sample tubes in the sample tray to results, and lighten the workload of your MS/MS instrument, making it available to other MS/MS – specific analyses.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.
