Overview

UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano System

Get outstanding performance and workflow versatility using the Thermo Scientific UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano system. This low-flow liquid chromatography system has a wide flow-pressure footprint with nano-, capillary-, and micro-flow options. Select the nano-flow solution for high sensitivity applications, or choose the robust capillary- and micro-flow solution to balance sensitivity and high throughput performance. Advanced Thermo Scientific ProFlow technology improves nano-flow rate control and results in high retention time precision and gradient reproducibility.

Highlights

Workflow flexibility

 

The wide flow range binary gradient pump, additional micro-flow ternary gradient pump, and integrated column compartment with two snap-in switching valves makes the system suitable for virtually any low-flow LC or LC-MS application such as bottom-up and top-down proteomics, or metabolomics. 

Outstanding performance

 

The integrated micro-flow loading pump enables pre-concentration of samples for ultra-long reproducible gradients. Thermo Scientific ProFlow technology for nano-flow applications provides the highest retention time precision and gradient reproducibility, while the capillary-flow flow meter enables high-sensitivity with high-throughput analyses.

Versatility

 

A wide flow rate range and an integrated high-flow micro-flow pump enable quick sample loading, desalting and pre-concentration. Standard and advanced kits for applications such as direct injection, pre-concentration, tandem low-flow LC, or two-dimensional workflows extend this system’s workflow capabilities. 

Seamless LC-MS integration

 

Dedicated connection kits and LC-MS interfaces are included for straightforward hardware integration with Thermo Scientific EASY-Spray, Thermo Scientific Nanospray Flex, and Thermo Scientific Ion Max sources for maximum ease of use.

Biocompatible, easy and reliable tool-free connections

 

The fluidic pathway of the UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano UHPLC system is fully biocompatible and fitted with Thermo Scientific nanoViper fingertight fittings, which support near-zero dead volume connections and enable sharper peaks and tool-free setup.

CDS software for full LC-MS control

 

The UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano UHPLC system seamlessly integrates into our Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) as a single point of intelligent control for your HPLC and Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer via Thermo Scientific Standard Instrument Integration (SII) for Xcalibur.
