Automated Mobile Phase Preparation System_Galatek

Chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS) technologies are playing an increasingly important role in pharmaceutical research, drug development, and quality control. Liquid Chromatography (LC) is a separation technique used to isolate various components in a mixture. It conducts the mass transfer of substances as the sample passes through a polar mobile phase and a non-polar stationary phase. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is a combination of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS), which reduces experimental errors and improves accuracy.
In chromatography analysis, the mobile phase, which acts as the medium for carrying the components to be tested, comes in various forms, including gases, liquids, and supercritical fluids. In particular, aqueous systems often require re-preparation every week due to microbial contamination, ensuring the validity of the analysis. Therefore, high-quality mobile phase preparation is a crucial step in chromatographic analysis.
