The chart shows the structure of the advanced setup:
Upon request each system can be supplied as manual configuration.
High pressure side prime and purge valves in eluent and reagent flow.
Validation documents IQ/OQ and PQ for ARACUS.
For sensitive fluorescence detection of 1° amines with o-phatalaldehyde (OPA) we are providing the suitable fluorescence detector.
It supplies the main unit and eluent box with a protective gas atmosphere by reducing the presence of atmospheric oxygen to enhance the signal to noise ratio.
Active control of fluid volume by weight cell of each bottle. (only available with software aminoPeak).
IVD kit for the qualitative and quantitative determination of amino acids in physiological fluids like human blood and urine for medical diagnostics in combination with the ARACUS IVD advanced.
Manual and automatic peak integration with integrated IQ/OQ procedure for software (only available with software Clarity).

Chromatographic separation of the amino acids is performed by ion-exchange chromatography, followed by post-column derivatization with ninhydrin (Stein & Moore) and photometric determination by LED. Alternatively, derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde and detection of the concentration with a fluorescence detector can be performed.
All applications dealing with amino acid analysis can be covered. These include the analysis of food and feed, the analysis of clinical samples such as blood plasma, urine or spinal fluid as well as research questions.
The ARACUS is the only system in the series that is a 2-pump system. One pump independently regulates the flow of reagents and one pump regulates the flow of eluents. The use of a 2-pump system also provides a better baseline. In addition, post-column derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde and a fluorescence detector allows the customer to detect amino acids and biogenic amines at a lower concentration.
The autosampler includes 2x 48 sample vials, which have a capacity of 1.5 mL. For small sample volumes, inlets can be used for the sample vials to ensure proper sample collection.
If the system is operated with the Clarity software, this option is possible. Contact us.
The system has an alarm system with three different levels. At "yellow" the user is informed about a situation that is not critical, at "orange" a controlled shutdown of the system is performed and at "red" the system is secured against serious damage by emergency shutdown.
The system works with a pre-sequence, the analysis sequence and a post-sequence. When the measurement sequence is completed, the system goes into standby and runs a circulation to keep the system in an equilibrated state to be able to start a new measurement again as quickly as possible.
You can determine the heating profile of the column oven, the temperature of the reactor, the flow of the eluents, and the selection of the eluents yourself. Optimized programs are delivered with the system as standard.
