Overview
This high‑performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system is configured for preparative‑scale purification of synthetic and semi‑synthetic glycomaterials. The instrument is equipped with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) and a large‑capacity fraction collector, enabling purification of compounds that are not readily detected by ultraviolet–visible (UV‑Vis) methods.
Description
The Shimadzu preparatory HPLC is capable of purifying both aqueous and organic samples using column chromatography. The integrated ELSD enables near‑universal detection, allowing analysis of compounds that lack strong chromophores.
Detection sensitivity allows analysis of sample quantities on the order of 200 picograms, making the system well-suited for preparative purification workflows involving limited or valuable glycomaterial samples.
Applications
- Preparative purification of synthetic glycomaterials
- Purification of semi‑synthetic carbohydrate derivatives
- Fraction collection for downstream analytical characterization
