About

UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to VWR International Ltd for the supply and installation of a hybrid flash and prep HPLC instrument.

The instrument includes a fume enclosure for operation outside a fume cupboard, an integrated ELSD controllable from software, and the ability to switch between flash cartridges and stainless steel columns without re-plumbing.

It features a quaternary gradient pump with flow rates from 1 to 1250 ml/min and maximum pressure up to 50 bar, supporting up to four solvents simultaneously.

The system accommodates flash cartridges from 4 g to 1.6 kg without hardware changes, a fraction collector for various tube and vessel sizes, and a diode array UV detector with scan and single wavelength modes (200-600 nm).

It allows signal monitoring and fraction collection based on UV, ELSD, or combinations, and includes an automated injection valve for liquid or solid samples, Ethernet readiness, and solvent level monitoring.

The contract value was AUD 49,999.05.
