Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, announces the new Thermo Scientific Atlas Chromatography Data System (CDS) add-on instrument control software for the Thermo Scientific Accela™ High Speed LC providing integrated instrument control, digital data acquisition, chromatography data processing and reporting. Award winning Atlas CDS™ provides chromatographers with a client/server chromatography-based software solution available for controlling the Accela LC.

The new Atlas Extension Kit integrates full instrument control and chromatography data handling for the Accela high speed pump, autosampler and PDA detector, and is designed to marry the rapid data analysis, processing and reporting of Atlas with the High Speed LC separations of the Accela. The unique Accela High Speed LC with sub 2-micron particle columns can operate at the standard pressures of conventional HPLC to 15,000 psi and separate samples faster, with better resolution and efficiency on the same instrument.

Thermo Scientific Atlas CDS provides a highly scalable client/server environment for laboratory LAN and WAN networks in pharmaceutical drug development, discovery, QA/QC laboratories, academia, and the food and beverage industries. Designed as a multi-user, multi-instrument data system, it enables remote network access to any Accela so that its data can be fully collected, secured and protected – enabling organizations to make more informed decisions faster. In addition, Atlas provides seamless integration of Accela results with enterprise wide laboratory informatics management systems applications including the full range of Thermo Scientific LIMS: Darwin, SampleManager, Nautilus and Watson.

Atlas software control for the Accela system is available immediately in version 8.2 of Atlas.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.
