The Shimadzu XR Prominence HPLC system is used for analytical separations. The instrument has a binary pump set-up to allow both isocratic and gradient elution at high back pressures (circa 14 000 psi) and is equipped with a photo diode array detector (PDA). A wide range of separations are performed on the instrument encompassing both normal and reverse phase conditions, with a wide variety of column chemistries utilised for identification and quantitative analysis.
