Nexera X2 UHPLC system targets routine analysis and applications in highly regulated environments demanding complex system setups.
System flexibility
The system flexibility is based on software features which control multiple gradients in a single system. This enables automated solvent blending on each pump in a binary gradient setup. The software has been adapted to meet the requirements for use in highly regulated environments.
Stability
Stability in gradient use has been improved by pump side modifications. Furthermore, design changes on inlet valve and degassing unit minimize air bubbles passing through the flow line and reduce their negative effects on stability and performance. For addressing specific applications, additional micro reactor based mixing devices can be selected accordingly. A newly designed low volume quaternary option reduces the system volume to meet UHPLC needs while enabling a better inter-system method transfer.
Sensitivity
The new SPD-M30A photodiode array detector is perfectly suited ultra-high sensitive applications using a capillary cell with low dispersion. Total reflection and a high energy deuterium lamp guarantee a low noise level. A novel temperature control principle decreases baseline drift and offers improved reliability even under changing environment conditions. Together with ultra-high speed data acquisition, software features which maximize resolution on the PDA while enabling peak deconvolution squeeze the maximum information out of a single analysis.

Sustainable Green Solvents in Microextraction: A Review of Recent Advancements
March 27th 2024Conventional sample preparation can be time- and resource-consuming, and a green analytical methodology can be a game-changer for scientists, in addition to facilitating selective and sensitive separations.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Apr 2024)
March 27th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real time.
