Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000: Performance and versatility for liquid chromatography
The Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 is designed to meet the liquid chromatography needs of demanding laboratories. Combining mechanical precision, optimised optical design and high-performance electronics, it can handle pressures up to 620 bar and flow rates up to 10 mL/min. This capability allows it to perform both conventional HPLC methods and UHPLC applications, ensuring maximum flexibility in analytical protocols.
Its modular architecture allows users to configure the system according to their methods and samples, whether for routine analyses or more complex research. The UltiMate 3000 is therefore an essential instrument for many fields, from pharmaceutical research to quality control in the food industry.
Optimised sample handling and thermal control
The system incorporates innovative autosamplers that ensure precise and reproducible injections with cycle times as short as 15 seconds. Compatibility with different formats, from 384-well microplates to 10 mL vials, allows for optimal adaptation to a variety of workflows.
The thermostated column compartment, using Peltier elements and forced air circulation, guarantees precise temperature control, reducing thermal gradients and ensuring optimal stability of the analyses. It can accommodate up to 12 columns, facilitating automated method development and the use of complex chromatographic techniques such as online SPE or reverse gradient LC.
This rigorous sample and column management results in increased sensitivity, improved reproducibility and significantly reduced preparation times.
Detection versatility and intelligent software integration
The UltiMate 3000 family of detectors covers a wide range of detection principles, allowing you to choose the most suitable option based on the required sensitivity and selectivity. Options include UV-Vis detection (DAD, MWD, VWD), fluorescence, refractive index, charged aerosol detection, electrochemical detection and single quadrupole mass spectrometry.
Combined with Thermo Scientific Dionex Chromeleon 7.2 software, the UltiMate 3000 provides an integrated environment for chromatography and mass spectrometry management. Features such as eWorkflows, Smart Startup and Intelligent Run Control automate critical steps, optimise preparation and ensure consistent analysis. Dynamic data integration, combined with intelligent peak integration wizards, greatly simplifies the processing and interpretation of results.
Thanks to this combination of high-performance hardware and intuitive software solutions, the UltiMate 3000 enables you to achieve reliable results quickly while minimising manual handling.
