PrinCE-C 650 and 660: The top of flexibility
The PrinCE-C 650 and 660 are the top of flexibility in Capillary Electrophoresis. Both these systems are added with a second buffer lift. This second lift is used to allow the change of outlet buffers at will.
Because of the dual lift approach and the possibilities for external pressure up to 10 bars, the PrinCE-C 650 and 660 are the most versatile of all PrinCE instruments. It is ideally suited for method development and routine analysis by one or more methods after another. The latter can be extremely useful, if not all analytes in a sample can be separated with a single buffer. The PrinCE-C 660 offers the possibility of sample and buffer cooling.
Both PrinCE systems are fully automated and can handle up to 32 (or optional 40) samples without interference of the operator, while still maintaining 10 (or optional 5) buffer vials. Any combination of six segments (sample/buffer type) can be used. The operator can exchange the segments easily without needing any tools.
Under precisely controlled circumstances it is possible to use the PrinCE-C 650 and 660 for fraction collection.
The detector will typically be placed on top of the PrinCE, which will reduce bench space.
