KNAUER AZURA Educational 400 bar HPLC System

We would like to support you in your efforts to teach chromatography in theory and practice with the KNAUER AZURA Educational System. Our special package for training includes:

• KNAUER AZURA Compact HPLC as a complete solution: an isocratic HPLC system with manual injection valve, pump, HPLC column and UV detector as well as eluent tray and solvent bottles.
• Intuitive and up-to-date: The clearly defined layout helps to understand the different functions of the HPLC system. All important components are easy to access and maintain. 
• A laptop and the HPLC software ClarityChrom^® to control the system and analyze results. Alternatively, KNAUER´s Mobile Control can also be used.
• Training material: flow chart for installation and capillary connection, detailed application note and video tutorials.
• Beyond the detailled described example application, many other easy applications are also possible on this system

If you are more interested in a fully equipped HPLC system for daily routine analyses, we recommend the KNAUER AZURA HPLC 862 bar systems.

System components

Isocratic pump system

The AZURA® P 4.1S isocratic compact pump is the easiest solution and can be applied, whenever an isocratic run is needed. It features an integrated pressure sensor, which ensures pressure-independent flow rate accuracy. Choose between specialized pump heads for reversed phase and normal phase applications.

Sample Injection

Manual injection valve

KNAUER Manual injection valves V 4.1 are the easiest and most cost- effective way to inject your sample. Equippable with different sample loops, the manual injection valve can be used for a wide range of injection volumes.

Electrically driven injection valve

Whenever you need higher reproducibility and want to get user-independent results, a manual injection valve can be upgraded to an electrically switching injection valve using the KNAUER smart valve drive VU 4.1. The sample can still be applied manually, but the injection into the HPLC system is automated.

For the KNAUER AZURA 400 bar Compact systems, it can be installed as a module in the ASM 2.2L.

Column selection and thermostat

Optionally available for the KNAUER AZURA Educational system. The forced air column thermostat AZURA CT 2.1 is capable of heating or cooling from 5 to 85 °C. The powerful fan and robust peltier element keep the column at a very stable temperature, thus allowing reproducible analysis results. Optional eluent preheating cartridges can be installed.

Detection

UV/VIS detectors with single variable wavelength

The AZURA UVD 2.1S is a highly competitive single variable wavelength UV detector for HPLC. It offers excellent technical specifications for routine laboratory work. The installed deuterium lamp covers a wavelength range from 190 to 500 nm. Due to a smart design, the flow cell is easily accessible and can be changed very quickly.

Software solutions

Mobile Control

The Mobile Control is an intuitive and cost-effective software solution for controlling and monitoring your AZURA devices and systems. The clear system overview provides instant information on key parameters and system status. Adjust and operate single devices or even whole systems with a few fingertips. The well-structured block programming assists you to clearly and quickly automate device control. A smart user management makes the Mobile Control safe. Device parameters can only be changed by authorized operators.
