DVLS GC Fractionator

Categories: ,

In cooperation with the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions has developed the GC Fractionator: an application that automates the collection of micro fractions for a GC-MS analyis. Essential part of the application is the XYZ sampler combined with the Da Vinci smart grip.

AUTOMATED GC FRACTIONATION

Gas chromatography (GC) is a superior technique for separating many compounds. The fractionation of compounds from a GC analysis requires a complex setup and allows to collect only a limited number of fractions. Therefore a post-column fractionation after a liquid chromatography analysis is preferably used. The VU university of Amsterdam developed a new analytical technology for a highly efficient, high-resolution and high-yield fractionation of compounds after a GC separation. Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions engineered the dedicated hardware parts and also developed the software to automate the fractionation.

KEY BENEFITS OF GC FRACTIONATOR

  • A robust, easy to operate and automated GC fractionation solution
  • Fractionation of complete chromatograms in a second scale resolution
  • Multiple injections for repeated fractionation in the same wells or vials allow for increased concentration of separated compounds
  • The combination of powerful GC separations with the sensitivity and selectivity of a bioassay/MS allows identification of bioactives by direct correlation
  • Parallel split to on-line chemical analysis makes it possible to correlate on-line chromatography with collected fractions for further off-line analysis
  • Post-column cell seeding approach makes a direct transfer to bioassays possible without the need for additional pipetting steps and dilutions
  • For environmental samples our GC fractionation in combination with endocrine disrupting cellular bioassays enables rapid, high resolution and straightforward Effect Directed Analysis (EDA)
