Nexera Series Features for Auto-Diagnostics and Recovery

Assisting Analytical Operations In rare cases, air bubbles can form in the mobile phase and cause problems if inhaled into the pump. Nexera has the

ability to monitor baseline changes and pressure fluctuations to check for abnormalities. When it detects an unusual
fluctuation, it can automatically pause the analysis, purge the flow path, and restart analysis once it has confirmed
The same outstanding instrument performance capabilities offered by Nexera series systems are also available in recovery to normal pressure.

Proprietary Structure for Ensuring Sample Cooling

SIL-40 series autosamplers include a direct-access function that helps improve analytical operating efficiency by allowing
additional sample vials or MTP plates to be inserted even during data acquisition. A dry air flow control system ensures
reliable sample cooling and relieves operators from the inconvenience of dealing with condensation water.
