Easy and efficient method scouting for separating chiral compounds Innovative technologies packaged into robust modules

Automatically performs a variety of method scouting processes Customized modules for Nexera UC based on Nexera technology

The high-speed performance of SFC can shorten the time required for method scouting. Supercritical Fluid Extraction Unit SFE-30A
It automatically generates a large number of methods by utilizing combinations of up to 12 columns, four modifiers, and
This unit operates at a maximum temperature of 80°C to allow faster and more complete extractions.
different ratios of modifiers to mobile phase.
Two sizes of extraction vessels (5 mL and 0.2 mL) can be chosen based on the sample amount.
This unit has the internal capacity to run up to four samples automatically; with the addition of an optional rack changer, it
can accommodate unattended operation for up to 48 samples.

CO2 Solvent Delivery Unit LC-30ADSF / Back Pressure Regulator Unit SFC-30A
Stable baseline with low pulsation is realized by LC-30ADSF with a built-in cooler for pump heads, which delivers mobile phases up to
5 mL/min at pressures up to 66 MPa. The low dead volume of SFC-30A (0.7 µL) allows a mass spectrometer to be directly connected
to the SFC system without splitting so that higher sensitivity can be achieved.
