Flash Chromatography System for normal and reverse phase purifications
What is the CombiFlash® NextGen 100?
The CombiFlash® NextGen 100 from Teledyne Labs is a flash chromatography system for both normal phase and reverse phase purifications. It operates at flow rates up to 100 mL/min and pressures up to 150 psi (10 bar), offering an economical solution for routine purification workflows.
System design and performance
The system can handle a wide range of purification needs while maintaining a compact and cost-effective setup. It supports collection of purified compounds in different rack sizes, allowing appropriate fraction volumes depending on column size.
Flow and pressure capabilities include:
- Flow rates from 1 to 100 mL/min
- Operating pressure up to 150 psi (10 bar)
Focus Gradient Generator
The Focus Gradient Generator is integrated into PeakTrak® software and supports predictive method development. After a preset gradient run, the user can select a target peak, and the system automatically generates an optimized gradient method focused on that compound.
Key features
- Wider dynamic range UV detector with improved baseline correction for absorbing solvents
- Faster processing through a streamlined user interface
- Photo diode array (PDA) detection using UV and UV-Vis technology
- Real-time or post-run spectral display
- Fraction collection based on purity indicators
Detection and purification options
The system supports multiple advanced detection and collection strategies:
Internal vapor sensor
When the system detects vapors, it automatically stops operation.
Mass-directed purification
Fraction collection can be based on matching the mass of the target compound, reducing the need for additional post-purification analysis and saving time.
ELSD detection
An integrated evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) allows collection of non-chromophoric and non-volatile compounds. It is fully integrated into the system, requiring no additional footprint. All parameters are automatically configured based on the solvent used or can be optimized for the separation.
