Description
Shimadzu Prominence LC-20 Series HPLC System
Shimadzu Prominence LC-20 Series HPLC system is a modular high-performance liquid chromatography platform designed for precise, reliable, and reproducible analytical separations.
This configuration features a dual-pump setup for high-pressure binary gradient capability, enabling accurate solvent mixing and stable flow delivery. The Prominence platform is engineered for low pulsation and consistent performance, resulting in improved peak resolution and reproducibility in complex separations. Detection is performed using a diode array detector (DAD), allowing simultaneous multi-wavelength monitoring and full spectral acquisition. This enables confident compound identification, peak purity analysis, and quantitative measurement across diverse sample types. The system is optimized to deliver high sensitivity and stable baseline performance during extended analytical runs.
The integrated degassing unit ensures removal of dissolved gases from mobile phases, improving chromatographic stability and reducing baseline noise. Centralized system control through the communication bus module allows coordinated operation of all components within the system.
This refurbished Shimadzu Prominence LC-20 Series HPLC system is offered fully tested, in working condition by Alliant Scientific.
