Choosing a system
Modular components
The versatile Shimadzu Prominence series of modular HPLC components delivers superior performance for any mass spectrometer. With the CBM-20A system controller and its industry-first web-enabled interface, you can monitor the progress of your run from any computer on the network. The LC-20AD pump is the industry leader in performance, offering pulse-free flows from 100nL/min to 10mL/min and excellent gradient reproducibility, owing to its 3nL/step motor resolution. Coupled with the Rack Changer (12 MTP or Deep Well MTP capacity), the SIL-20A autosampler exemplifies the definition of high throughput. The shortest cycle time on the market (10 seconds for a 10µL injection) combined with unmatched carryover performance makes it the ultimate in sample introduction. An optional active rinse pump offers the ability to do multiple solvent washes to reduce carryover from even the most troublesome compound mixtures and sample matrices.
The venerable SIL-HT, already a leader in MS sample introduction, has been enhanced for better carryover performance and is an option available to those who need up to four titre plates. Add the ability to control multiple solvent and column selection valves and more detectors than any other manufacturer - for that complementary data to MS - and you will see why Shimadzu has earned our reputation for system flexibility. With this flexibility, you can easily upgrade any system to a 2D configuration for exceptional separation and/or online sample preparation.
