The Thermo Scientific Vanquish Flex 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. The 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
For analyses that require more flexibility to accommodate all applications, Thermo Scientific Vanquish Flex UHPLC systems enable you to increase your productivity and drive innovation without compromising quality. Whether you need an LC or LC-MS solution, the flexibility of the Vanquish Flex systems with binary or quaternary solvent blending provides the most advanced performance through better separations, more results and easier interaction. Like all members of our Vanquish product line, Vanquish Flex UHPLC systems offer hardware precision, detector sensitivity, and simplicity of operation.
