Description
Biotage Isolera One Flash Chromatography System with ELSD-A120 Overview
Biotage Isolera One Flash Chromatography System with ELSD-A120
The Isolera One is Biotage’s flagship flash purification system, built to simplify compound purification for organic synthesis, natural product extraction, and peptide purification workflows. Its patented Isolera Spektra software provides real-time monitoring, gradient control, and automated fraction collection, with simultaneous UV detection across all wavelengths and unique baseline correction for improved detection of poor UV-absorbing compounds.
This system is equipped with the ELSD-A120, adding evaporative light scattering detection alongside the standard UV detector — useful for detecting compounds that lack a UV chromophore, such as sugars, lipids, and surfactants, which a UV-only flash system would miss entirely. Together, the dual detection setup gives a more complete picture of what’s actually eluting off the column.
The system runs flow rates from 1 to 200 mL/min at up to 145 psi, and is fully compatible with Biotage Sfär prepacked columns. A 10.4″ capacitive touchscreen handles on-board control, with Ethernet, USB, D-Sub, and AUX ports available for connectivity and data export.
This Biotage Isolera One Flash Chromatography System with ELSD-A120 is offered fully refurbished and tested, in working condition by Alliant Scientific.
