Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announced a new quaternary pump that improves separation for complex mixtures, such as red wine, during ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (U-HPLC) analysis. The Thermo Scientific Accela 1250 pump features Force Feedback Control (FFC) which eliminates the need for pulse dampening, while improving flow accuracy and gradient precision under extreme operating conditions, according to the company.
The Accela 1250 pump is designed to operate at a top pressure of 1250 bar with flow rates of up to 2mL/min, reducing run times and improving productivity. This suits it for U-HPLC analysis and applications requiring flexibility between standard HPLC and U-HPLC capabilities. The pump also offers increased performance with significant baseline stabilization and improved retention time reproducibility.
The Accela 1250 pump enhances the Accela LC, which provides chromatographic separations over an expansive range of flow rates and pressures.
