Thermo Fisher Scientific launches new Vanquish Flex UHPLC system

Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the launch of a new ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system at the International HPLC Conference in Geneva.

The Thermo Scientific Vanquish Flex UHPLC system is designed for high speed, resolution and sensitivity, allowing users to perform biocompatible analyses for applications such as life science research and pharmaceutical quality control.

It features an integrated modular design, making it possible to mix and match components depending on the demands of the application, with key features including a new quaternary gradient pump module and a fluorescence detector for increased sensitivity.

The firm has also launched its new Thermo Scientific SMART Digest kit, a new protein digestion tool that provides sensitive and fast analyses.

Fraser McLeod, vice-president and general manager for Thermo Fisher Scientific's HPLC business, said: "We have developed a system that showcases high-resolution separation and reproducibility for advanced analyses for a range of liquid chromatography applications."

The company also recently showcased in HPLC innovations at ACHEMA 2015, the industry conference that took place in Frankfurt earlier this month.
