Product Description
The ALEXYS Carbohydrate Analyzer from Antec Scientific is a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system specifically designed for the analysis of carbohydrates. It uses High-Performance Anion-Exchange Chromatography with Pulsed Amperometric Detection (HPAEC-PAD) to separate and quantify various types of carbohydrates with high sensitivity and without the need for derivatization.
Technical specifications
-
Core technology:The system uses High-Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography (HPAEC) combined with Pulsed Amperometric Detection (PAD), a highly sensitive and specific method for carbohydrate analysis.
-
Electrochemical detection:It features dedicated flow cells (FlexCell or SenCell) with high pH resistance and maintenance-free HyREF reference electrodes, as well as solid gold working electrodes for robustness.
- Stability and reproducibility:
The system is built to ensure stable and reproducible results, particularly important for high-pH chromatography.
- An inert gas blanketing kit to prevent CO2 from dissolving in the mobile phase.
- A column oven that can accurately control temperatures between 5 and 85°C, allowing for both linear and non-linear gradients.
-
Modular design:The ALEXYS is a modular system, allowing for tailoring to specific applications. Key modules include the eluent tray, pump, autosampler, and column thermostat.
-
Software integration:It can be integrated with chromatography data systems like Clarity™ or Chromeleon™ for automated data acquisition, processing, and reporting.
