KNAUER Azura High Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography (HPAEC) system

This dedicated system is specifically designed for the analysis of sugars coupled to a pulsed amperometric detector (PAD).

Carbohydrates are important in the manufacture of many foods, pharmaceuticals and biofuels. This dedicated system is specially designed to separate and analyze carbohydrates. The heart of this system is the AZURA ECD 2.1 electrochemical detector. This detector enables the detection of the smallest amounts of carbohydrates due to its extraordinary sensitivity and comes with an integrated column thermostat. In combination with the SenCell Au HyREF flow cell carbohydrates can be detected by pulsed amperometry. More systems components are the AZURA P 6.1L pump in its bio-inert LPG version and the AZURA AS 6.1L bio-inert autosampler. Therefore, an interesting application is the analysis of wood sugars and uronic acids for biofuel research.
