New Automated Fractionation and Re-injection for Dionex UltiMate 3000 Analytical and Micro Systems

Dionex Corporation is pleased to announce the availability of a new UltiMate® 3000 Module, the WPS-3000FC Autosampler Fraction Collector.

The new instrument supports fully automated off-line multidimensional and multistep liquid chromatography in analytical and micro flow rate ranges, providing customers with a unique tool for the most challenging applications. The WPS-3000FC simplifies multidimensional separations by allowing columns that differ in chemistry and internal diameter to be combined on a single LC system with dual gradient flow delivery. In combination with the Extended Fraction Collection capabilities of the Chromeleon® Chromatography Data System software, the WPS-3000FC enables full automation of injection, fractionation, and reinjection.

The capacity for three well plates allows automated collection and re-injection of more than 1000 samples, without manual handling. Sample and fraction cooling comes as standard. Installation and method development, as well as everyday tasks such as system control, data review and reporting are straightforward and easily performed. A dedicated view, the 2D Retention Map, provides a 2D gel-like representation of UV data for easy comparison. Dynamically linked sample and fraction displays make reviewing and finding the fractions of interest very easy.

The WPS-3000FC is available in stainless steel and biocompatible PEEK™ versions, making it an ideal tool for biomolecule analysis, including protein and antibody fractionation and purification. This integrated module marks another breakthrough in flexibility on one of the most versatile HPLC platforms currently available – the UltiMate 3000 Intelligent LC system.
