Pickering PCX 5200 Post-Column Derivatization Instrument
$3,300

Post-column derivatization provides the selectivity, sensitivity and the chromoatgraphic reproducibility often lacking in direct UV-Vis or
pre-column derivatization methods. When combined with a standard HPLC system, the PCX5200, along with chemicals and post-column protocols, provides a reliable and precise means for selectively derivatizing and detecting analytes of interest.

The PCX5200 is a versatile post-column derivatization instrument which can be configured for a variety of post-column methods and chemistries. It replaces the earlier PCX5100 and PCX3100, which were designed for, respectively, two post-column reagents and a single post-column reagent.

• Sapphire pistons
• Liquid ends, including check valve housings, type 316 stainless steel (PEEK available)
• Piston wash

GAUGES AND FLOW CONDITIONING PANELS

• Independent 210 bar (0–3000 psi) pressure gauges for each pump
• 70 bar (0–1000 psi) gauge displays post-column system pressure
• Diamond-packed restrictors, matched to flow rate and viscosity of reagents
• Bypass/purge valves
• Replaceable reagent and pre-column filters

REACTOR

• Heated reactor controls at ± 0.4 °C for temperatures from 5 °C above ambient to a maximum temperature of 130 °C. Range of reactor dwell volumes, depending upon application
• LCD display of actual temperature or set point
• Thermal safety switch cuts power to heater if temperature exceeds safety limits

COLUMN HEATER

• Heater accepts 6 or 8 mm OD (0.25 or 0.31 inch) × 50, 100, 150, or 250 mm-length column and guard
• Temperature holds within ± 0.4 °C of set point; can be set with 1 °C resolution from 5 °C above ambient to 75 °C
• Solvent preheater eliminates temperature gradient through column
• LCD display of actual temperature or set point
• Insulated, hinged cover allows access to column

• Regulator maintains 0.3 bar (3–5 psi) on reagent reservoirs with 3–5 bar (45–75 psi) source pressure
• Pressure-relief valve opens at 0.6 bar (8 psi)
• Manifold with anti-siphon valves has four 1/4-28 tubing connections

• One liter capacity (2 and 5 L reservoirs available)
• Maintained under inert gas pressure to inhibit oxidation of OPA or other oxygen-sensitive reagents
• Valve built into reservoir cap permits sparging during reagent preparation
• Reagent reservoirs fitted with 3.1 mm OD oxygen-impermeable Saran® tubing for oxygen-sensitive reagents and/or with 3.1 mm OD FEP tubing
