Liquid Chromatography/HPLC is an instrument used to separate, detect, and analyze compounds. It does this by splitting a mixture into parts. Then, it does a quantitative and qualitative analysis of each part.

Scientists and researchers use chromatographs in fields like chemistry, bio-downstream process development, and pharmacy. They use liquid chromatography to learn about the composition, structure, and properties of samples.

In single-use pharmaceutical processes, liquid chromatographs play a crucial role in drug component analysis, quality control, research and development, metabolic studies, etc., making drug research and production more precise, efficient, and reliable.

Accurate flow rate measurement is crucial, it shows how well liquid chromatographs perform.

Traditional measurement methods present multi challenges to the accuracy of the results.

1.Flow rate fluctuations

Fluid flow rates in chromatographic instruments may fluctuate. This leads to instability and inaccuracy in flow rate measurements.

2.Changes in liquid properties

During chromatography, the fluid's properties can change. This happens due to shifts in temperature, pressure, or composition. These changes affect the accuracy of flow rate measurements.

3.Liquid viscosity

Some fluids being measured may have high viscosity, which can affect the fluid's flow performance in the chromatograph, leading to difficulties in flow rate measurements.

4.Foam and bubbles

Bubbles or foam may be present in the chromatograph, which can interfere with flow rate measurements and lead to inaccurate results.

5.Liquid contamination

Maintaining the purity and sterility of the liquid is crucial in chromatographic analysis. During flow rate measurements, it is essential to ensure that all connecting components and tubings are sterile to prevent any bacteria or contaminants from entering the sample.

XY-TEK CG Ultrasonic Flow Sensor / Flow Meter  & TGU series Ultrasonic Flow Sensor / Flow Meter  can address these challenges and add advantages to liquid chromatography/HPLC.

1.Clamp-on design, easy to use

It can be organically combined with pumps, tubings, and related sensors required by the chromatograph on a single frame, with optional fixed or mobile installation.

2.Non-invasive flow rate measurement, meeting high hygiene requirements

There is no need to contact the measured fluid, reducing the risk of cross-infection or contamination to a minimum and meeting the requirements for liquid purity and sterility in biopharmaceutical processes.

3.Flexible configuration

Provides 12 different tubing diameter options. Flow sensor customization is available based on customer laboratory and industrial needs, whether used independently or connected upstream and downstream.
