Isolera™ LS 150 Flash Chromatography System
The Isolera™ LS 150 Flash Chromatography System is an advanced, fully automated purification platform specifically designed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale research and process-scale production. This robust system handles sample loads up to 800 grams per run and flow rates up to 500 mL/min, making it ideal for high-capacity purification of organic compounds, pharmaceutical intermediates, and fine chemicals. Engineered for scalability, the Isolera™ LS 150 simplifies process development with pre-packed columns ranging from 50 g to 8 kg, intelligent gradient control, and easy method transfer from TLC plates to large flash columns. Its intuitive, large touchscreen interface offers real-time 3D peak visualization, gradient equilibration, automated fraction collection, and precise solvent delivery to ensure high reproducibility and optimal separation performance.
