The SIL-5000 coupled with the CBM-20A system controller and the LC-20AD micro plunger pump represent the state of the art in high throughput LCMS front-end automation. Expanded firmware and multi-plexing capabilities allow the SIL-5000 to be the heart of a multi-stream sample introduction system for your MS - parallel or rapid serial. The race to speed up the development of new drugs and get them to market quickly continues to be the focus of many pharmaceutical companies. High throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, and HPLC analysis have become key technologies for increasing the speed with which new drug compounds can be identified and developed for market release. The SIL-5000 is designed to meet these requirements in terms of speed, capacity and precision in chromatography 'Front End' automation. The high capacity SIL-5000 can sample from mixed formats including various sized vials and titer plates. Fully loaded, the SIL-5000 can support up to 24 standard titer plates in a single run. This capacity combined with the injection cycle times - as low as 22 seconds - results in exceptional sample throughput. The SIL-5000 delivers high injection precision to your HPLC and utilizes two solvent rinse stations to minimize carryover. Options include: Peltier temperature controlled sample stacks (4° to 40° C); syringe sizes from 10 to 2500 uL; Cycle Composer software; Choice of Injector valves.
