Excellent System Expandability
Solvent Delivery Unit Accommodates a Wide Range of Recovery Volumes
Guidelines for Preparative Scale and Maximum Load
The figure at right shows the guidelines for total component capacity with a 250 mm long column when the target component is highly soluble in the mobile phase, separates from impurities, and ions are suppressed. For isocratic elution, in principle, the total component capacity is proportional to the column volume.
Guidelines for Preparative Scale and Maximum Load
LC-20AT
- This solvent delivery unit can handle flow rates ranging from those used in analytical scale to those used in semi-preparative (up to 10 mL/min).
- High-precision analysis is possible even in the semi-micro flow-rate range.
Supports Semi-Preparative and Recycle Preparative
LC-20AR
- This solvent delivery unit can handle flow rates used in semi-preparative scale (up to 20 mL/min).
- Using a recycle kit enables semi-preparative recycling.
Supports Large-Scale Preparative Fractionation
LC-20AP
- High flow rates (up to 150 mL/min) enable highly efficient, large-scale preparative fractionation.
- Large-scale prep solvent delivery fully supports the preparative fractionation workflow including reinjection to assess purity.
- Combine with an FCV-200AL low-pressure gradient unit to perform gradient analysis using up to four mobile phases.

Shim-pack Scepter Columns
- Excellent stability & performance using a wide range of LC conditions -
Shim-pack Scepter LC columns, which are the next generation organic silica hybrid based columns, are designed for stability and performance in a wide range of mobile phase conditions. With different chemistry characteristics, Shim-pack Scepter columns are effective for method development/scouting under conditions that may compromise traditional silica based columns.
With different particle sizes (1.9 μm, 3 μm, 5 μm) and different column dimensions, Shim-pack Scepter LC columns are fully scalable between UHPLC, HPLC and preparative LC, making method transfer seamless between different laboratory instrumentation.

The LH-40 Liquid Handler, Combination of Autosampler and Fraction Collector
Options
Syringe Kit 20 mL
This kit enables large-capacity injections of 2 mL or more at one time. The maximum injection volume is 20 mL.
Washing Pump
This reduces the washing time for the injection needle, increasing throughput while reducing carryover.
Analysis Kit
The recovered fraction can be reanalyzed to check the purity.
Liquid Surface Detection Needle
This detects the liquid surface level, and automatically determines whether there is any sample present. As a result, only the remaining volume is injected, which prevents the injection of air into columns. Additionally, if no sample is present, the system can proceed to the next sample, reducing needless errors and lost labor.

Example of Scaling Up from Analytical to Semi Preparative Work
This is an example of scaling up in which seven types of parabens are targeted using a 150 mm long column with a particle size of 5 μm.
The gradient elution conditions investigated at the analytical scale are transitioned to the semi-preparative scale. A comparable chromatogram is obtained at both scales.
