Spark Holland?s new ultra high pressure pump, the SPH1240?, provides 18,000 psi for the entire range of UHPLC analytical flow rates, guaranteeing a rapid and reproducible gradient.
Reliable, rapid and reproducible high pressure gradient for UHPLC
Spark Holland’s innovative new ultra high pressure pump, the SPH1240™, provides 18,000 psi for the entire range of UHPLC analytical flow rates. Accurate flow delivery combined with dedicated adjustment of mixing volume and compressibility compensation guarantee a rapid and reproducible gradient.
Ultra high pressure pumps enable use of longer columns, higher flow rates and smaller particles. The optimum combination of these parameters may vary largely with assay requirements and the high separation speed and resolution of UHPLC can only be realised if the UHPLC pump is able to deliver accurate and steep solvent gradients. High-pressure solvent mixing alone can provide such a demanding combination of accurate solvent composition and rapid response. The SPH1240 has been optimised with these demands in mind to deliver a high pressure gradient from 500 - 18,000 psi at rates of up to 5 ml/min.
Ergonomic design allows the pumpheads to slide forward for easy access and connection and an optional integrated degasser is available along with extra solvent selection options for both pumps. The new SPH1240 adds to the range of high quality, reliable solutions for front-end UHPLC, combining with Spark's UHPLC compatible autosamplers, ALIAS™ and INTEGRITY™, for state-of-the-art technology.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
