The UltiMate® 3000 Binary Analytical system has been carefully configured to meet the demands of conventional HPLC and UHPLC at pressures up to 620 bar. Two serial dual-piston pumps provide stable, accurate pulse-free flows—essential for optimal binary gradient mixing performance—for consistent gradient formation, rapid gradient response, and excellent retention time precision.
- UHPLC compatibility with pressures up to 62 MPa (9000 psi)
- SmartFlow® technology for precise and accurate flow rates from 0.1 to 10 mL/min
- High-pressure gradient proportioning at superior accuracy and precision
- Minimized gradient delay volume for rapid gradient response
- High temperature operation for lower viscosity
- Ultralow-carryover, high-precision auto-injections
- Also suitable for fast LC applications (in combination with the RSLC conversion kit)
The UltiMate 3000 Binary Analytical system provides fast cycle time, reliable mobile phase temperature conditioning, and high data rate detection to ensure optimal performance for the full range of binary analytical applications.

Performance Examples
UltiMate® 3000 HPLC systems deliver improvements in HPLC performance while ensuring easy, reliable operation.The UltiMate 3000 series operates over a wide range of flow rates, including preparative, analytical, micro, and nano/capillary scales, supporting applications such as discovery processes, quality control, and advanced research like proteomics.
Rapid Separation LC offers the highest flow-pressure range to meet your chromatographic goals whatever the may be. Developing separations in seconds rather than in minutes requires a system that provides excellent precision, speed, and performance. Use the RSLC Method Transfer Calculator for quick and easy conversion of conventional HPLC to UHPLC methods.
The following modules and accessories represent a typical UltiMate 3000 Binary Analytical system configuration. Due to its modular setup, the system can be upgraded easily by adding or exchanging LC modules.
