The UltiMate® 3000 Binary Rapid Separation LC (RSLC) system is the perfect choice for developing the fastest UHPLC separations possible. The binary RSLC pump features the smallest gradient-delay volume of the Dionex RSLC family of pumps and provides smooth, flawless eluent delivery with even the smallest volume column. The system’s powerful combination of high flow rate capability, high pressure rating, and ultrafast data collection rate facilitates the highest peak capacity in the shortest run times. Even separations of 10 peaks in 10 seconds are feasible. But the system is not only designed for ultrafast separations. The optimized system dimensions support any analytical HPLC column format and Dionex’s proprietary mixing concept easily adapts to any mixing volume required. Further RSLC system highlights include:
- Industry leading flow-pressure footprint with flow rates up to 8 mL/min and pressure rating up to 15,000 psi (103.4 MPa).
- Zero-dead-volume module connections using Viper™ capillary and fitting technology
- In-line split-loop injections for 15 second sample delivery with no sample loss
- Reduced system backpressure with high-temperature column compartment operating up to 110 °C
- Data collection rates up to 200 Hz with a wide range of optical detectors including three UV variants and fluorescence
- Inject up to 500 µL at high system pressure (up to15,000 psi (103.4 MPa)) using the patented injection valve of the Rapid Separation Autosampler
