Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches Online 2D-LC Systems

Thermo Scientific has launched the Online 2D-Liquid Chromatography (LC) Systems. The systems offer a flexible platform for pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical R&D, food safety, environmental testing, omics and polymer analysis scientists to characterize complex samples in-depth with the highest confidence.

The Vanquish Online 2D-LC system leverages the performance and ease of use of the innovative Vanquish technology, while offering maximum application flexibility and versatility for multi-dimensional liquid chromatography. The platform delivers peak identification and purity analysis for even the most difficult to separate analytes, for example, structural isomers. Laboratories in fields such as pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical R&D, food safety, environmental testing, omics and polymer analysis can take advantage of the flexibility of the Vanquish Online 2D-LC system, combining the confidence of 2D-LC and productivity boost of Dual LC in one system, while not requiring dedicated 2D-LC instrumentation.

Integrating the online 2D-LC system with complimentary LC assays enables improved sample throughput while increasing confidence in results. The Vanquish Online 2D-LC system presents an easy upgrade from existing single channel standard Vanquish HPLC or UHPLC systems, without the need for dedicated equipment for each analysis type. Automated and complete workflows accelerate sample analysis time, maximize sample integrity, and improve confidence in the results.

"Confident, accurate and robust analysis is essential for difficult to resolve analytes in complex samples, such as biopharmaceutical formulations, fermentation broths or polymer materials," said Frank Steiner, PhD, senior manager, product applications and scientific advisor, high performance liquid chromatography, Thermo Fisher Scientific. "The Vanquish Online 2D-LC system offers full peak characterization, with complete, automated and flexible workflows, allowing customers to expand their analytical capabilities while presenting a user-friendly experience."
