prepFAST IC

Automated Speciation

Sample matrix affects both species separation and elution rates on chromatographic columns and requires special chromatographic software to define and integrate each species peak. The prepFAST autodilution alternative, when combined with syringe driven speciation, provides:

rapid fully automated analysis of species with accurate and precise results
autocalibrate for any speciation system
autodilute samples with complex matrix to obtain reproducible separation and elution/retention time
reduce risk of species conversion through inline dilution immediately before separation

Featured Applications

microFAST MC - Dual Loop Syringe Loading & Injection

Nd Isotope

Minimizing the amount of Nd required to obtain desired precision (> 50 ppm) and throughput for precious oceanographic samples is illustrated in two figures. First, internal precision is for plotted for variable amounts of Nd injected at 100 µL/min for two minutes. Less than 50 ppm (2 RSD) internal precision is obtained for 2 ng samples of Nd. Repeat analysis of reference materials JNdi and La Jolla indicate that the external precision for 2 ng of Nd is similar to the 50 ppm internal precision and appropriate for oceanographic applications.
