Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ Flex Quaternary UHPLC System

Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ Flex Binary UHPLC system is biocompatible with a state-of-the-art binary high-pressure pump and state-of-the-art binary solvent blending. This ultra high performance liquid chromatography system shares all Vanquish values, such as a design focused on uptime, robustness and reliability. Multiple detection options as well as Thermo Scientific™ Viper™ fingertight connections throughout the system will give you the performance you need with the ease of use you want. Our SmartFlow™ pumping technology with automatic compensation for changing eluent compressibility ensures excellent flow and gradient precision, independent of eluent composition and backpressures. This gives you unrivaled retention time precision and highest data confidence, even for ternary and quaternary gradients, and for more freedom in method development and application switching. Detection capabilities include high sensitivity and linearity Diode Array Detection with LightPipe technology, selective and sensitive Fluorescence Detection and near-universal detection capabilities with the Vanquish Charged Aerosol Detector. Key Features: Integrated modularity design concept to offer uncompromising UHPLC State-of-the-art quaternary solvent blending 1000 bar of pump pressure and flow rates up to 8 mL/min Industry-leading flow and gradient precision Multiple detection options including DAD, FLD and CAD Relevant Applications: Separations of Intact mAbs Analysis of labeled glycans Ternary gradient impurity profiling Efficient, reliable peptide mapping

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.

Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.BiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.PeptidesPeptides are short chains of amino acids that play key roles in biological processes, including signaling, immune responses, and enzyme regulation. Peptide research is critical in drug discovery, diagnostics, and vaccine development.
