Integrated Flow Manager

The FLM-3000 Flow Manager series features UltiFlowTM  active splitting technology, and integrates this with the thermostatted column oven. It also includes up to two low-dispersion 10-port valves, ready to use in automated sample preparation and multidimensional LC applications. The thermostatted column compartment, with a temperature range from 5–70 ºC, allows for the use of up to three columns. Use of the automated preheating/cooling option allows shorter warm-up/cool-down times, decreasing temperature stabilization times.

  • The Flow Manager is the ideal solution for chromatography users looking to work at nano/cap/micro flow rates and require high retention time precisions.
  • Column compartment temperature range: 5–70 °C
  • Column capacity of up to three microcolumns (max length: 30 cm)
  • Integrated UltiFlow active flow splitting system
  • Electronically controlled nano and capillary flow delivery
  • Thermostatted for highly reproducible flow delivery
  • Thermostatted 10-port microswitching valves for superior reproducibility and application flexibility
  • Biocompatible option

 

UltiFlow Technology

Reliable generation of nano and capillary gradients is achieved using the all-new, groundbreaking integrated active flow splitting system: UltiFlow technology (patent pending). UltiFlow technology significantly improves the gradient reproducibility and flow accuracy, compared to passive flow splitting approaches. Presplit gradient formation offers various advantages over splitless nanoflow gradients. Mixing is more homogeneous, gradient delays are minimized, and fast changes to the gradient profiles are optimized even under the lowest column flow rates.

With UltiFlow, constant column flow is also preserved, working independent of solvent composition and column pressures. Even in case of partial column clogging from particulate in a sample, the programmed flow rate will be maintained.

UltiFlow constantly monitors flow and immediately initiates corrective action for any deviations from the flow set-point. With the UltiMate TM  3000 and UltiFlow technology, reliable timing for peaks into the MS or fractions onto a MALDI plate is guaranteed—sample to sample, week to week, and instrument to instrument.
