The Master Science Rapid Separation HPLC is a modular rapid separation liquid chromatography (RSLC) system. Its pump withstands up to 75 MPa, so it works with small-particle columns and lets existing methods be transferred without redevelopment.
The autosampler uses a needle-in-flow design in which the whole sample is swept onto the column. Pumps are available as quaternary with 5-channel degassing or binary with a solvent switching valve, and the detector range covers UV, DAD, FLD, ELSD and RID.

Common Problems and How This System Helps
How the Master Science Rapid Separation HPLC tackles common LC limitations:
- Pressure limit blocking small-particle columns: 75 MPa pump.
- Carry-over between injections: needle-in-flow design with optimised wash.
- Check valves sticking in acetonitrile: acetonitrile-resistant valve.
- Manual integration of shoulder peaks: intelligent peak detection.
