Agilent Technologies has introduced its next-generation Agilent 7100 capillary electrophoresis (CE) system. It offers the industry’s widest selection of detectors for flexibility and sensitivity, and the new instrument is reverse-compatible to the previous Agilent CE platform, so existing methods can continue to be used.
The instrument performs the full range of CE separation techniques, including capillary electrochromatography for fast separation of closely related compounds. Its standard replenishment system provides high throughput for unattended operation, and has been improved to use less buffer for the replenishment function.
The Agilent 7100 CE system was designed to enhance productivity, reliability and ease of use. The new, rugged internal pressure system and improved capillary cooler supports higher currents and/or larger capillary diameters to increase throughput and also to enable a wider range of applications.
In addition, the system comes with new Chemstation software with an easy-to-use graphical user interface and an improved method set up that minimises start-up and training time.
