Used HORIBA PLCA-520 #9132955 for sale

HORIBA PLCA-520 is a high-performance liquid chromatography autosampler (HPLCAS) designed to efficiently extract samples from a variety of liquid material types. This device is ideal for complex sample preparation tasks in industries such as pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and biotechnology applications. PLCA-520 utilizes a syringe sampling mechanism to draw a one-milliliter sample from the sample vial, then passes it into the HPLC equipment. This mechanism minimizes the risk of sample contamination and volume loss, enabling precise sample transfer and reliable results. Furthermore, the HPLCAS is able to detect sample injection volumes down to 0.0004 mL, which is extremely accurate for sensitive analytical experiments. The device is easy to operate, and allows for up to sixteen 2 mL pre-programmed samples to be loaded and tested in its 32-position carousel tray. This helps save time during a run, as there is no need to remove and reload samples between several rounds. In addition, the syringe design and sample tray are constructed of stainless steel, allowing for enhanced durability and consistent results even after multiple injections. An optional extra module can equip HORIBA PLCA-520 with a thermal-heated tray to improve sample stability. The intuitive LCD touch screen user interface of PLCA-520 is easy to grasp, making operation simpler for users unfamiliar with liquid chromatography procedures. The carousel tray offers full XY-coordulations, so samples can be easily tracked in the system. Furthermore, it features a USB port for backups of unit data. The software can also monitor usage, alert in case of any problem, and estimate the remaining life of the syringe. In order to provide precise and consistent repeatability, HORIBA PLCA-520 offers several user-adjustable parameters. The pressure control settings can be adjusted according to the injector's requirements, and the needle distance from the sample vial can be adjusted based on sample characteristics. In addition, the software can automatically detect injection quantities with an accuracy of +/-0.005 mL. Overall, PLCA-520 HPLCAS is a reliable and efficient machine designed to provide excellent performance for a vast range of sample types. This device is ideal for demanding applications, especially those requiring a high resolution of sample preparation and extraction.
