Description
This used Acquity UPLC I-class and PDA detector was maintained and serviced at our premises prior to offering them for sale (see reports). An outstanding choice for laboratories that demand reliability, throughput, and high-resolution separations.
It consists of the following modules:
- Acquity I class CHA (D13CHA732G
- Acquity I class Binary Solvent Manager (J11BUR072N)
- Acquity I class Sample manager FL (E13UFL211N)
- Acquity PDA detector (E10UPD 752A).
- Windows 10 computer with Masslynx software. A conversion to Empower must be done by the new owner due to license issues.
The Acquity UPLC I-Class is recognized worldwide for its exceptionally low system dispersion and high-pressure capability (up to 18,000+ psi), enabling sharper peaks and faster run times—even with sub-2 µm columns. The result is higher productivity, lower solvent consumption, and greater efficiency across your workflows.
This system comes equipped with a Photodiode Array (PDA) detector from 2010, offering full UV/VIS spectral acquisition between 190 and 800 nm. With high sampling rates and low noise, the PDA not only delivers robust quantitative data, but also provides spectral information for confident peak identification and purity analysis. This makes it a versatile solution for method development, quality control, and research environments where both sensitivity and reliability matter.
Key advantages include:
- High resolution & speed – improved separation efficiency and shorter analysis times.
- Proven reliability – trusted Waters technology, designed for demanding, continuous operation.
- Versatility – applicable across pharma, food & beverage, environmental, and academic labs.
- Cost efficiency – refurbished system at a fraction of the price of a new instrument, while maintaining core performance.
With this used Waters Acquity UPLC I-Class and PDA detector, you gain a complete, high-performance UPLC platform that helps your lab work faster, with higher sensitivity and confidence—without the capital expense of a new system.
