AZURA 862's upgradeability to ULDC is a great advantage
|
The new analytical HPLC system AZURA 862 raises the bar for standard HPLC, allowing separations at up to 12,500 psi / 862 bar.
Where is the advantage, when most of my HPLC applications run at pressures below 300 bar?
Replacing an old HPLC system with a most up-to-date AZURA 862 HPLC system, will give you high-performing components like the P 6.1L eluent supply, the flexible AS 6.1L autosampler, sensitive detectors with high data acquisition rates, and modern network connectivity today.
You can continue to run your routine applications at slightly higher performance and benefit from modern system features. The 862 bar pressure-resistance increases the number of modern small-particle columns applicable on your system. So, with AZURA 862 you will be able to use e.g. core-shell column materials;

Should your future methods require higher
resolution, you can then easily upgrade your AZURA 862 with ULDC technology. This upgrade transforms the system into an ultra-low dispersion chromatography system, which will minimize the extra-column volume and provide UHPLC benefits.
The separation power of modern sub-2µm or core-shell columns can be fully utilized with ULDC resulting in higher resolution for sharper peaks or faster separations.

AZURA 862 HPLC system:
- Most up-to-date HPLC components, performance-wise, control-wise
- Can easily replace existing systems running the same methods
- Upgradable to UHPLC level performance
The ULDC option makes the new AZURA 862 a future-proof HPLC:
- Ultra-low dispersion chromatography (ULDC) for the next level of HPLC
- Ultra-low extra column volume
- Maximized separation power with UHPLC benefits

An HPLC->ULDC adaptable system is not only practical from a cost perspective, but also more sustainable, because no systems will sit around unused, just due to an unexpected need for HPLC or UHPLC methods.
