Lumex - Model Capel - 205 - Capillary Electrophoresis System

Capel-205 realizes principle of capillary electrophoresis (CE) – separation technique, capable to determine multiple components in one run in various types of samples.

Short analysis time and high separation efficiency make CE method a great solution for food industry, environmental applications, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, biochemistry and science.

Capillary electrophoresis is based upon the differential migration of components of aqueous samples within a narrow-fused silica capillary driven by an electric field. Separated components are detected and quantified by a highly sensitive optical system based on direct or indirect UV absorbance.

• Great variety of applications may be done thanks to electrophoresis separation technique
• One instrument for multiple purposes: detects various types of analytes in almost any kind of aqueous-organic samples
• Short analysis time and large autosampler capacity increase lab throughput
• No any additional equipment (gas supplier, water bath, etc.) is required: Capel-205 works alone right after installation
• Low reagents and sample consumption and standard consumables minimize running costs
• No sample evaporation and contamination thanks to sealed vials with automatic opening in the autosampler
• 21 CFR part 11 compliant software
• Streaming potential control technique (optionally) improves repeatability of migration time and accuracy of analysis

• Capillary electrophoresis system CAPEL-205;
• Spare capillary cassettes;
• Elforun software package;
• Kits for analyses (upon request); most of CE-kits of any manufacturers are compatible with Capel-205.

Warranty
