The Axcend Focus LC® stands out as an eco-friendly high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) due to its innovative design and sustainable features. This compact system uses significantly less solvent, consuming under 10 mL per week, and produces roughly the same amount of waste. Additionally, its energy consumption is a fraction of that of larger, bench-top LCs. By minimizing solvent use and waste production, the Axcend Focus LC not only reduces operational costs but also aligns with green analytical chemistry principles, making it an environmentally responsible choice for laboratories

The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.

The Focus LC® separated PAHs in ~12 and ~15 min, with separate methods on short capillary columns packed with 1.7 µm monomeric and 3.0 diameter polymeric C18 particles.

The separation of five test proteins in the range of 5.8 to 45 kDa is shown using reversed phase (RP) conditions.

Real time determination of the presence of MDA in an aviation turbine fuel sample at installation level or in a field environment outside of a laboratory.

A point-of-care LC system that is compact, reliable, and easy to use. The Axcend Focus LC is efficient, allowing for informed decisions at the time of need.

Repeatable analyses of API dissolution. An Extra Strength Excedrin® analgesic tablet was dissolved in a 200 mL solution (97% water; 3% ACN; and <0.1% TFA).
