LC-2010HT

A new look, new concept HPLC

Shimadzu presents the LC-2010HT series of completely integrated, high throughput HPLCs.

LC-2010HT
The LC-2010HT is a next-generation HPLC based on the concept of high-throughput analysis and automated validation. The LC-2010HT is comprised of a degassing unit, quaternary low-pressure gradient unit, pump unit, mixer, ultra fast autosampler, column oven, and a UV-VIS detector with a thermostatted flow cell. System reliability has been further improved by standardizing the flow line arrangement in order to integrate the units. As with its predecessor, the LC-2010, the LC-2010HT has unparalleled flow rate and gradient concentration accuracy, but now boasts near-zero sample carryover with its needle coating technology. The LC-2010HT is available in two models, the standard model (LC-2010AHT) and the sample-cooled model (LC-2010CHT), for use across a broad range of applications from conventional liquid chromatography to semi-micro liquid chromatography.

The latest technology for multiple samples, high-speed injection, and automation is now condensed into a compact package! This is the optimum HPLC for high-throughput analysis, whether for R&D, manufacturing, or product quality control. The Shimadzu LC-2010HT series meets the demand.

High Throughput Autosampler
The high performance metering pump can precisely measure sample volume with no sample loss. This high throughput autosampler delivers the goods; superior repeatability (within 0.3% RSD*1), the lowest carryover (within 0.01%*1), and the highest speed (15s injection cycle). Two sample racks for 1.5mL vials are equipped as standard.

Sample Cooler (LC-2010CHT)
A direct cooling mechanism with Peltier element provides efficient and rapid cooling. The newly designed dehumidifier prevents condensation.

Degasser
A small volume, high efficiency 5 line degasser is incorporated to remove dissolved gases in mobile phases as well as in the rinsing solution of the autosampler.

Reservoir Tray
The Reservoir Tray can accommodate six 1L bottles. Documents and small tools can be stored in the drawer, too.

System Controller
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Wizard function make it easy to operate the LC-2010HT.

Column Oven
The block heating type column oven can heat and cool up to two columns. The temperature deviation is minimized by a double Temperature control mechanism. The advanced Column Management Device (CMD)*2 can be used to easily manage column information.

UV-VIS Detector
Thanks to the lowest baseline noise (±0.25 x 10-5AU or lower*1) ever, higher sensitivity analyses are achieved. The standard temperature controlled cell reduces the influence of room temperature fluctuations on absorbance and gives a more stable baseline. A mercury lamp is built in to check wavelength accuracy.

Pump
Pulse-free solvent delivery is achieved by utilizing Shimadzu's proprietary micro volume serial double plunger design. A newly developed Dynamic Inlet Valve (Pat. Pending) greatly improves flow rate stability and gradient performance.
