We are happy to add Sapphire Engineerings high precision pumps to our product range.

Characteristics for the Sapphire pumps are very high precision and low cost of ownership. You can expect long life time and carefree usage.

Application areas; Analytical Instrumentation, Biotechnology, Medical Equipment, Food & Beverage

Founded in 1900, Sapphire Engineering has designed and manufactured products from ultrahard materials, including sapphire, ruby, ceramics, and stainless steel for over 100 years. Acquired by the IDEX Corporation in 2004, Sapphire Engineering products are now a brand of IDEX Health & Science LLC.

IPV (Integrated Piston/Valve)

Built on the same principles as our Precision Dispense Pumps, extensive tests show the IPV will outlast traditional syringes and valves by as much as 20-fold, yielding major lifetime cost savings. The IPV saves even more on downtime and upkeep because it requires no routine preventive maintenance such as cleaning and nut tightening, essential with conventional syringes. By selecting the seal-wash option, you can extend IPV life even longer when using it with difficult fluids.

VFP17 Precision Dispense Pump

With its Zirconia Ceramic displacement piston technology, the VFP17 precision dispense pump offers several key benefits over competing displacement and syringe pumps, including:

High precision and low cost of ownership
Expected pump life of millions of cycles
Available with total dispense volumes of 25 µL to 5 mL
Flexibility to customize pump head, piston and seal materials for your application

PVM (pump and valve module)

The compact digital PVM (Pump and Valve Module) is a self-contained, stepper-motor-driven module. This product is designed for various liquid-handling applications such as automated pipetting, diluting, and dispensing. This unit is 100 percent compatible with the Cavro™ XP-3000 syringe pump, but uses a more robust, direct-drive leadscrew technology – not belts and pulleys.

The PVM uses the Sapphire Engineering™ IPV, which meets and exceeds the precision and accuracy of traditional syringe/plug valve systems while offering up to 20x the life.

Halo

♣ New short Fused-Core columns for ultrafast analysis – 20mm long

Now we offer the HALO columns also with 20mm length. This will enable even shorter analysis time with high resolution due to the Fused-Core technology. The 20mm columns are available with ID 2.1, 3.0 and 4.6mm. They are available with HALO C18, C8, Phenyl-Hexyl, RP-Amide, and HILIC phases.

The HALO Fused-Core columns can be used in a standard HPLC system due to the low back pressure.

See attached pdf file for a complete list of available dimensions.

♣ New HALO Peptide ES-C18 for bio-separations

The new line of HALO columns has been specifically engineered to separate higher molecular weight compounds such as peptides and small proteins. These new columns contain advanced fused-core® particles that have bigger pores (160 Å versus 90 Å in standard HALO® particles), bonded with steric-protected C18 ligands to provide extra stability (ES) at low pH (< 1) and high temperatures (up to 100ºC) which greatly expands the application range for HALO columns.

This new C18 bonded phase will offer additional separation selectivity to complement the existing HALO C18, C8, Phenyl-Hexyl, RP-Amide, and HILIC phases. Two examples of the ability of the new columns to provide excellent peak shape for larger molecules are shown in the attached pdf file.

HALO Peptide ES-C18 Specifications:

Stationary Phase Support

2.7-micron diameter spherical, ultra-pure, “Type B” silica
1.7-micron solid core with a 0.5-micron porous silica layer fused to the surface
80 m²/gram surface area
160Å pore size

Bonded Phase

Steric-protected C18, octadecyldiisobutylsilane, 2.0 µmoles/m²
No endcapping
pH range: 1 to 9
Maximum Temperature: 90ºC

Maximum Pressure: 9,000 psi, 600 Bar

KOT - Knitted Open Tubular Reaction And Mixing Coils

The KOT reactor is the Most Optimal Delay Element for use in Analytical Flow Systems

By the knitting technique we use, the chromatographic peak shape will be preserved. Application areas for the KOT are for example post-column derivatization and as a delay in a system with fraction collection. The KOT´s are made of inert PTFE and they are available as standard in lengths from 1-10 meters. Read more in the brochure below…

New HALO™ columns for extremely rapid and efficient separations

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:56:52 +0000

- HALO™ Phenyl-Hexyl is the latest addition in the unique HALO series of UHPLC columns. This new stationary phase gives alternate selectivity, especially for compounds containing aromatic groups.

Excellent stability and minimum bleed for LC-MS applications.

Base deactiveated for good peak shape when separating basic compounds.

Moderate back pressure allows for UHPLC-like perfromance with conventional HPLC equipment.

- HALO™ RP-Amide, new stationary phase for different selectivity and improved retention of polar compounds

- HALO™ HILIC, new stationary phase for separation of very polar compounds

- New dimensions; HALO™ C18 now available with ID 1mm

- Capillary columns; HALO™ C18 and C8 now available with ID 75, 100, 200 and 300µm
