Shimadzu LC-20AP Preparative Pump

The new LC-20AP preparative pump has improved pressure performance under high flow rates (42 MPa for up to 100 mL/min, 30 MPa for up to 150 mL/min), enabling the use of a higher separation column, so fractionation with high purity can be achieved even for minute quantities of target compounds, such as impurities in pharmaceuticals. At the same time, the solvent delivery accuracy at low flow rates has been increased, so the system has a high basic performance over a broad range of flow rates from analysis to large-scale fractionation. Furthermore, its power can be used over a wide range of applications from fractionation of natural products to analysis of impurities.

In addition to high basic performance, the system is energy efficient, consuming less power and achieving an energy savings of about 41%*. Finally, the width has been reduced from 350 mm (previous model: LC-8A) to 260 mm, for a space savings of about 25 %.
