Beckman Coulter P/ACE MDQ Capillary Electrophoresis Analyzer (Tested)

The Beckman Coulter P/ACE MDQ is a highly flexible capillary electrophoresis (CE) system designed for research, method development, and routine quality control (QA/QC).

The system supports a wide range of electrophoretic techniques:

• Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE)
• Isotachophoresis (ITP)
• Isoelectric Focusing (IEF)
• Affinity Electrophoresis
• Electrokinetic Chromatography (EKC)
• Electrochromatography

The instrument is equipped with a selectable wavelength UV/VIS detector and can be extended with a diode array detector (190–600 nm) or a highly sensitive laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detector (488/520 nm).

The system is delivered with:

• computer
• 32 Karat software
• capillaries and accessories

Key Features

• Capillary electrophoresis system with multiple separation modes
• Selectable wavelength UV/VIS detector
• Optional DAD detector (190–600 nm)
• Highly sensitive LIF detection (up to 500× more sensitive than UV)
• Automated autosampler (96-well plates, vials, PCR tubes)
• Up to 36 independent buffer positions
• Flexible separation control: voltage, current, power, pressure, vacuum
• Gradient programming (step and linear)
• Temperature-controlled sample storage
• Modular and highly adaptable system
