Gilson PLC 2020 purification system

Gilson UK's PLC 2020 is a personal liquid chromatography system for reverse and normal-phase HPLC with FLASH purification capabilities. This complete system was developed for chemists, to provide them with an easy-to-use, self-contained instrument specific to their purification needs on a more personal level. The system is ideally suited for low throughput, high and low-pressure purification to support the individual or a group of chemists.

The PLC 2020 is a compact and independent purification platform capable of performing manual injection purification runs from 1ml/min to 100ml/min with pressures up to 4,060psi. The system can hold up to four 1l solvent reservoirs and select between four different elution solvents. It also has integrated variable, dual wavelength UV/VIS detection and fraction collection capabilities all controlled via the easy-to-use touch-screen controller, allowing the system to be completely self-contained and operated without the need for any additional equipment or space.

The PLC 2020 enables users to download/upload a variety of methods or results easily with a USB drive for quick information transfer. Its interchangeable pump heads and flow cell design enables users to completely optimize and accommodate a variety of applications. This 'HPLC in a box' offers the diversity that chemists require with fully-functioning facilities and an intuitive software interface.
