The purified fraction is then sent via automated heart‑cut transfer straight into the <sup>2</sup>D. The <sup>1</sup>D elution conditions facilitate optimal mAb capture at the SCX column in the <sup>2</sup>D.</li><li><i><strong>ProA‑SCX to see charge drifts</strong>. </i>Gradient elution of the SCX column in the <sup>2</sup>D to separate acidic and basic variants from the main peak.</li><li><strong>ProA‑SCX‑SEC to see aggregation risks</strong>. The SCX column is switched in line with the SEC column to resolve the monomer, low‑molecular‑weight (LMW), and high‑molecular‑weight (HMW) fractions. The SCX column here acts as a trap and refocusing stage, releasing the mAb into SEC in a narrow band by a step increase to high ionic strength. The trap/elute procedure is critical to yield sharp peaks downstream, as SEC cannot refocus bands, broadened by the loop volume.</li></ul><p>Together, these workflows support both early risk detection and informed corrective action without adding analytical complexity.</p><h3><strong>UVD or MS?

Organomation NITRO-GEN+ Nitrogen Generator

The NITRO-GEN+ Nitrogen Generator is designed to satisfy the needs of the LC-MS and sample preparation fields.

<p><strong>The NITRO-GEN+ Nitrogen Generator is designed to satisfy the needs of the LC-MS and sample preparation fields. The NITRO-GEN+ is compatible with all Organomation nitrogen evaporators up to 100 sample positions, along with most LC-MS analyzers on the market. It relies on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to separate nitrogen from the air. The unit uses molecular sieves to remove oxygen, water, and trace hydrocarbons, leaving a stream of high purity nitrogen gas. Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of this Carbon Molecular Sieve technology along with high and low pressure compressors.</strong></p><p>This unique technology allows the nitrogen to be produced at a low pressure and an ambient temperature, eliminating the need for high pressure cylinders which can be dangerous for the technicians handling them. The low pressure also ensures a longer compressor life, which reduces the time and money spent on regular maintenance. The generator's simple installation and operation combined with its superior reliability makes the NITRO-GEN+ a staple in any laboratory.</p><h4><strong>Standard features</strong></h4><ul><li>Integrated low noise, oil free compressors</li><li>On-demand supply 24/7</li><li>Proprietary carbon molecular sieve technology</li><li>Complete "plug and play" LC-MS solution</li><li>Two-year complete product warranty or 8,000 hour run-time warranty</li></ul><h4><strong>Compatible features</strong></h4><ul><li>All Organomation evaporators up to 100 sample positions</li><li>Most LC-MS analyzers on the market</li></ul><h4><strong>Specification</strong></h4><h5><strong>Key Features:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Flow Rate:</strong> Up to 35 L/min</li><li><strong>Nitrogen Purity:</strong><ul><li>Up to 99% at ≤ 25 L/min</li><li>Up to 98% at &gt; 25 L/min</li></ul></li><li><strong>Dewpoint:</strong> -58 °F (-50 °C)</li><li><strong>Output Pressure:</strong> 0 – 116 PSI (0 – 8 bar)</li><li><strong>Warm-Up Time:</strong> 20 minutes</li><li><strong>Technology:</strong> Carbon molecular sieve (CMS)</li></ul><h5><strong>Electrical &amp; Safety:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Power Supply:</strong><ul><li>110–120 V, 60 Hz</li><li>220–240 V, 50 Hz</li></ul></li><li><strong>Total Wattage:</strong> 1800 W</li><li><strong>Protection Rating:</strong><ul><li>Electrical: IP20</li><li>Mechanical Impact: IK08</li></ul></li><li><strong>Noise Level:</strong> 55 dBA at 1 meter</li></ul><h5><strong>Dimensions &amp; Weight:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Size (W × D × H):</strong> 18.9 × 33 × 25 in (48 × 83.8 × 63.5 cm)</li><li><strong>Weight:</strong> 198 lbs (90 kg)</li></ul><h5><strong>Connections &amp; Certifications:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Outlet Connection:</strong> 6 mm OD compression or 1/4"</li><li><strong>Certifications:</strong> CE, FCC, MET (UL and CSA compliant)</li></ul><h5><strong>Environmental Specifications:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Operating Temperature:</strong> 59–95 °F (15–35 °C)</li><li><strong>Relative Humidity:</strong><ul><li>0–80% (non-condensing)</li><li>0–99% (with condensation drain)</li></ul></li><li><strong>Altitude:</strong> &lt; 2000 m (800–1150 hPa)</li></ul><p><strong>Warranty: </strong>2 years or 8,000-hour runtime (whichever comes first)</p>

Organomation NITRO-GEN Nitrogen Generator

The NITRO-GEN generator was developed with Organomation’s nitrogen evaporators in mind to provide nitrogen generation for sample concentration.

<p><strong>The NITRO-GEN generator was developed with Organomation’s nitrogen evaporators in mind to provide nitrogen generation for sample concentration. The generator is lightweight and easy to set up, requiring only a source of compressed air to run. This unit is an ideal choice for labs with an in-house compressed air source.</strong></p><p>The generator uses a hollow-fiber membrane to convert compressed air to a stream of 95-99% pure nitrogen gas. The hollow-fiber membrane consists of a series of narrow, semipermeable tubes in a porous membrane. As compressed air travels through the fibers, oxygen and water vapor permeate the membrane and are vented off, leaving a steam of high purity nitrogen gas. At up to 99% purity, the resulting nitrogen gas stream can be used in a variety of sample preparation applications.</p><h4><strong>NITRO-GEN</strong></h4><p>The NITRO-GEN produces up to 20 L/min of nitrogen gas and is recommended for evaporation of up to 48 sample positions.&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Standard features</strong></h4><ul><li>Adjustable outlet pressure regulator, 0-100 psi</li><li>Dual Stage clean air filtration system</li><li>Requires an oil-less compressed air source</li></ul><h4><strong>Advantages</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>Quick Start-Up Time </strong>- Nitrogen is produced instantly, no heat up time</li><li><strong>Saves Energy </strong>- No electrical power needed</li><li><strong>Engineered Design </strong>- Life expectancy is more than 10 years</li><li><strong>Low Maintenance </strong>- Serviceable clean air filter</li><li><strong>Compact and Lightweight </strong>- Small footprint conserves valuable bench space</li><li><strong>Reduced CO2 Emissions </strong>- No heaters, less energy required</li></ul><h4><strong>Specification</strong></h4><h5><strong>Key Features:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Flow Rate:</strong> Up to 20 L/min</li><li><strong>Technology:</strong> Hollow-fiber membrane</li><li><strong>Output Pressure:</strong> Adjustable 0 – 100 PSI</li><li><strong>Electrical Requirements:</strong> None (no power required)</li><li><strong>Noise Level:</strong> &lt; 40 dBA (virtually silent when connected to an instrument)</li></ul><h5><strong>Inlet Air Requirements:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Maximum Inlet Pressure:</strong> 150 PSI (10.3 bar)</li><li><strong>Particulate Filtration:</strong> ≤ 0.01 µm</li><li><strong>Oil Vapor Content:</strong> &lt; 0.01 mg/m³ (&lt; 0.01 ppm)</li><li><strong>Relative Humidity:</strong> &lt; 100% (non-condensing)</li><li><strong>Air Quality:</strong> Clean, contaminant-free air</li></ul><h5><strong>Environmental Conditions:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Operating Temperature:</strong> 36–122 °F (2–50 °C)</li><li><strong>Ambient Pressure:</strong> Atmospheric</li></ul><h5><strong>Dimensions &amp; Weight:</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Size (W × D × H):</strong> 9.5 × 8 × 19.5 in (241 × 203 × 495 mm)</li><li><strong>Weight:</strong> 13.25 lbs (6 kg)</li></ul><p><strong>Warranty: </strong>1 year</p>
