Labman expertise

Enabling your workflow

Bring the precision, speed and safety of hplc automation to your laboratory.

Analytical HPLC integrationFrom small molecule analysis to routine QC, we integrate with leading analytical HPLC platforms like the Agilent 1290 Infinity, Thermo Fisher Vanquish, Waters Alliance, and Shimadzu Nexera. We streamline everything from autosampler prep to real-time data capture—designed to match your exact method and regulatory requirements. Need a plate-loading system? Our autoloader integration delivers hands-free, high-throughput sample queuing with full compatibility across vendor software ecosystems.

Preparative HPLC automationFor purification workflows with variable output, we combine XPlanar levitation technology with open-bed fraction collection to create agile, high-capacity solutions. Fractions from LC/MS runs are automatically dispensed into discrete vials—ideal for dynamic compound libraries or evolving crude profiles. Whether you’re using a Thermo or Agilent prep system, we enable scalable purification with minimal user input and maximum flexibility.

LC-MS workflow integrationWe automate everything upstream of your LC-MS system—from plate handling and solvent switching to direct sample injection with needle flushing and isolation for glovebox compatibility. This setup ensures clean, real-time transfers and integrates seamlessly with Agilent, Waters, or Shimadzu platforms. Add in automated wash cycles and closed-loop logic, and your LC-MS becomes a continuously fed, intelligently driven asset.

Biologics & bioanalysis HPLC solutionsFor complex biologics, we support inline automation across SEC, IEX, and reverse-phase systems, optimizing for throughput and reproducibility. Our platforms easily tie in with HPLC modules from all major vendors and are built for high-complexity workflows—whether it’s glycan analysis or stability profiling. Closed-loop feedback from analytical software allows for auto-triggered reinjection, dilution, or decision-making based on real-time purity or mass confirmation.

Process-scale & GMP HPLC integrationWe can integrate prep-scale HPLC into regulated GMP environments with support for fully traceable batch handling, solvent delivery, and instrument sanitization. Designed to connect with your LIMS, MES, or eBR systems, our solutions meet CFR Part 11 requirements and minimize manual steps. Needle flushing, environmental sealing, and data logging are built-in to support inspection readiness and full operational control.

Application-specific & niche HPLC automationFrom mycotoxin detection to trace contaminant analysis, we support application-specific HPLC automation across food, forensics, and environmental sectors. Whether your needs are method-driven or matrix-specific, we can automate with plate-based, vial-based, or custom sample formats. Plus, with integration to third-party analytics tools like Virsicdian, we enable automated peak detection, quantification, and rule-based reporting—closing the loop between separation and decision-making.
