Gradient System
Features

High-Sensitivity Analysis
Gradient separation enables detection of trace PTH-amino acids.
Analysis Stability
Equipped with a high-performance detector and a solvent delivery pump that provides excellent pumping performance even in the micro flowrate range.
High-Sensitivity Analysis
A high-sensitivity flow cell enables high-sensitivity detection of PTH-amino acids, which allows for sequential analysis using trace samples.

Analysis Stability
This system has high analysis stability because it is equipped with a high-performance detector and a solvent delivery pump that provides excellent pumping performance, even in the micro flowrate range, combine to ensure high analysis stability. Because chromatograms with good reproducibility can be obtained, peaks detected in the previous cycle can be canceled by performing differential chromatogram processing. This enables easy identification of PTH-amino acids even from trace samples.

Installation Example

PPSQ-51A Single Reactor
Offers highly cost-effective performance.
PPSQ-53A Triple Reactor (Supports consecutive analysis of 3 samples.)
Using a triple reactor makes it possible to save time and effort, and gives greater freedom in the formulation of analysis programs.
