Labman Automation Preparatory HPLC/MS purification system

In 2001 Labman installed a fully automated sample preparation and solvent evaporation system for the purification of synthesised chemicals in Frankfurt Germany. Racks of dried-down synthesised samples loaded on to the system are re-suspended and filtered prior to injection on to a Shimadzu HPLC-MS column. Post purification, collection vials are tare weighed and loaded into the fraction collector. Once the fractionated samples are collected they are dried-down and reweighed to determine the product yield.
