Perkin Elmer Series 200 HPLC Systems

Series 200 Column Oven

Precision temperature control improves retention time

In many HPLC analyses, variations in column temperature can cause significant changes in retention times, making qualitative analysis difficult and affecting the precision of quantitative measurements.

By precisely and accurately controlling the temperature of

the mobile phase and the column, optimal results can be achieved. By maintaining the column temperature at a stable set point, more standardized results can be obtained, permitting better day­to-day and lab-to-lab comparison of results. In addition, elevated temperatures can be used in many applications to decrease mobile­phase viscosity while increasing mass transfer and sample solubility, resulting in better resolution and/or increased speed of analysis. Finally, subambient temperature capabilities are helpful in many biomolecular analyses and in the analysis of some chiral compounds.

PerkinElmer offers three versions of the Series 200 Column Oven to meet your specific needs: heat-only, Peltier (heat and cool), and a Peltier unit with a built-in column selection/switching valve.

The PerkinElmer Series 200 family of column ovens controls the mobile phase and sample temperature before they enter the column via a built-in preheater. This eliminates thermal gradients across the column, resulting in better column performance and precise retention times. All heating and cooling (Peltier units only) is performed electrically, permitting subambient temperatures as low as 5 ˚C with­out coolant or refrigerants.

The Series 200 Oven/Selector permits automated switching of up to six HPLC columns. This feature is extremely bene­ficial for method development applications and in multi­user/multi-method labs.

Key Benefits

Ø       All-electronic design permits wide operating range and leak alarm – Peltier units do not require refrigerants or coolants

Ø       Peltier oven/selector unit includes remote-control software, permitting full oven and selector-valve control in real-time

Ø       Integrated solvent pre-heater/chiller minimizes temperature gradients

Ø       Large, easily-accessible column compartment holds even 30-cm column formats

Ø       Fully-stackable design integrates into complete Series 200 HPLC System

The Peltier oven/column-select model includes an easy-to-use software-control package. This allows full remote control of oven temperature and the column­selection valve. Temperature and column selection can be programmed within a single method or sequence of runs – allowing full, unattended operation.

The Series 200 family of ovens is designed to meet even the most demanding require­ments. Microprocessor-based control maintains the set temperature, with 0.2 ˚C stability, across the entire temperature range. The LED display continuously shows the current “actual” temperature and the user selected “set” temperature. The unique, easily-accessed column compartment can accommodate multiple HPLC columns – including 30-cm columns such as those used in GPC analyses. The Series 200 ovens also contain an integrated “leak-detection” system, alerting the users to the smallest of leaks.

Stackable unit saves bench space

Because the column compartment is easily accessed directly from the front of the unit without having to remove a top cover, it can be stacked with other instruments in the Series 200 family, preserving valuable bench space.

Series 200 Autosampler

The PerkinElmer Series 200 LC Autosampler is an advanced sample processor that can be used with virtually every liquid chromatography system or application. You configure the Autosampler and define all of your methods and operations using function keys on a key­board located on the front panel of the instrument. A backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) located directly above the keyboard shows both status information about the instrument and provides access to the screens you use to define methods and set configuration parameters. If you use the PerkinElmer Series 200 LC Pump, you will find that the Autosampler front panel is almost identical to the one on the Pump. In addition, the Pump and the Autosam­pler share many common operating features that will allow you to get your system up and running quickly. The Series 200 LC Autosampler provides you with interchangeable technol­ogy so that you do not have to buy a new Autosampler and learn new user interfaces every time your needs change.
