What is UFPLC?

Purify and isolate compounds up to 18 times faster than conventional techniques.

With the Shimadzu UFPLC Ultra Fast Preparative and Purification Liquid Chromatograph, all the work from preparation to enrichment, purification, and recovery is performed on-line. This significantly reduces the labour involved in the preparative purification process, and avoids procedural mistakes. Using a proprietary trap enrichment purification technology for the fractionated target components, trace quantities of components contained in mixtures can be recovered at high concentrations and high purity levels. Additionally, since highly volatile organic solvents are used for the recovery of target components, the time needed for evaporation to dryness can be significantly reduced. When recovering ionic target components, counter ions are flushed out by optimization of the solution flowing through, so the target component is recovered as a high purity free base. With these procedures, and the dedicated Purification Solution™ software, the entire process from the configuration of preparative conditions to the recovery of liquid containing the target compounds can be configured easily from simple and user friendly software.
