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.
