FLOWSTAR² LB 514 Radio Detector for HPLC

FLOWSTAR² Maximum flexibility, outstanding sensitivity With over 50 years of experience Berthold Technologies is taking radio-HPLC flow detection to the next level. Designed for maximum ease of use, safety and flexi ility b 2 the FlowStar LB 514 sets the new standard for what a radio-HPLC flow detector should be. A wide range of available cells ensures optimal performance and supports full compatibility with both, routine and challenging applications. The convenient dual mode capability enables simple installation in different configurations and makes integration into existing systems easy.

APPLICATIONS & TECHNOLOGIES Superior performance for both routine and challenging applications Pharmaceutical Analysis Radio-HPLC is a key technology for the separation and quantitation of radiolabeled drugs and putative metabolites in drug development. Environmental Analysis A wide variety of contaminants from sources such as industrial waste, landfill sites, pesticides and pharmaceutical drugs can make their way into the environment. The challenging identification of these contaminants demands for highly-sensitive detectors to enable detection of lowest concentrations. Development and QC of...

Solid Scintillation Cells Liquid Scintillation Cells DESIGN: Consists of a very thin Teflon or Halar hose filled with fine scintillator grains. Designed to withstand backpressure from viscose eluates and flow rate. Solid scintillation cells are available either untreated (YG-U type) or surface treated (YG-S type) to minimise memory effects by sticky analytes. DESIGN: Designed to be used with the homogeneous method when liquid scintillator is added externally using a scintillation pump. Liquid scintillation cells are available for all applications including standard HPLC, LC/MS microbore and UHPLC....

ACCESSORIES To meet your specific application needs Liquid Scintillator Pump LB 5037 For admixture applications, where a liquid scintillator is continuously mixed with the column eluate. n INSTRUMENT SAFETY – pump separated from the main detector, eliminating the possibility of scintillator leaking into the detector and associated electronics. lt is also possible to split the eluate stream prior to mixing. OF USE – the dual piston pump is completely controlled by the FlowStar2 LB 514 for automatic handling of flow rates and start/stop signals. In addition the system uses a specific ramp function...

Test Cells Several test cells are available to perform periodic system performance tests. These cells have been developed to meet GLP/GMP requirements and to guarantee a continuous system performance. – The instrument firmware includes specific test functions to check the system performance when using the test cells. The system performance tests are simple to run since all required parameters have been stored in the test cell Smartchip and tests run automatically. – All results are saved automatically in the instruments memory for further inspection. Inspection intervals can be pre-defined to...

Static Mixer Mixing the eluate with the liquid scintillator is one of the key issues in radio-HPLC and can influence the quality of the results directly. We offer a static mixer to improve the mixing. Two different mixing cartridges are available with a dead volume of either 50 μl or 150 μl. Splitters and waste valve Valveless Splitters are available to split the eluate before mixing with scintillator, allowing part of the eluate to be diverted to a fraction collector. WASTE MANAGEMENT – a waste valve diverts the radioactive peak to a fraction collector and the non-radioactive waste to a low...

LIQUID SCINTILLATOR For optimised results Flow Plus Flow Plus has been formulated to meet the special requirements of radio-HPLC, in particular the counting of solvent/water gradients when using a Z-cell with the FlowStar2 LB 514. The formulation of Flow Plus has been optimised for counting aqueous/solvent gradients from 100% water to 100% solvent at high sampleto-scintillator ratios in flow cell applications. n Low viscosity, non-gelling for solvent/water gradients n Buffer gradient capability for HPLC n Suitable Flow Safe 2 Flow Safe 2 is a scintillation cocktail for use in flow counting, especially...
