This partnership pairs HPLC with automatic sampling
A technology integration partnership combines this company’s high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyzers with the DirectInject-LC, a technology for automatic sampling and reaction preparation made by Telescope Innovations (photo). HPLC is a gold-standard analysis technique in process chemistry, enabling researchers to separate and analyze each component in a chemical mixture. DirectInject-LC dramatically amplifies the power of this technology by automatically sampling and preparing reactions for real-time injection into HPLC instruments. Thus, full reaction profiles become readily accessible, providing rich chemical understanding, impurity profiling and fast optimization strategies, the companies say. This type of data-rich experimentation represents a massive competitive advantage to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. — Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc., Columbia, Md.
