Prominence UFLC / UFLCXR

Aiming for Faster Separation with
Uncompromising Quality
Prominence UFLC System
The times call for ultra-high-speed LC. Adopting ultra-high-speed LC
for a range of analysis work can provide a variety of benefits.
However, it is not enough to simply reduce analysis times. It is also
important to maintain basic precision in LC analysis, including
retention time repeatability, injection repeatability via an autosampler,
and carryover and detector sensitivity. Furthermore, in selecting
equipment, high-speed analysis means little without system durability
and operability.
The Prominence UFLC is the optimal system for any laboratory striving
for truly high-throughput analysis.
Unquestionable Fidelity - Both Repeatability and Speed
Maximizing Data Reliability
For precise equipment control, required by analytical validation
processes and quality control tests, and for minimizing the risk of a
system malfunction interrupting an analysis, the most important
factor is the 6-port valve on the autosampler. The Prominence UFLC
uses Shimadzu’s own proprietary high-precision 6-port valve, which
achieves 0.3% or less (RSD) area repeatability in 100,000 cycle
endurance tests* 1 .
In addition, for LC-MS analyses where reduction of sample carryover
has currently gained a great deal of attention, Prominence UFLC
successfully reduces carryover based on the principle of inhibiting the
adsorption of samples in the first place.
