Vanquish UHPLC Systems
Separate your science from the status quo
Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC systems are the most advanced UHPLC instruments available. The new Vanquish platform was designed from the ground up to improve performance and repeatability with no trade-offs in quality, robustness, or ease of use. Vanquish platform users have all they need to solve their toughest analytical challenges with confidence.
Advanced UHPLC systems for solving tough analytical challenges
For any application—whether HPLC or UHPLC, small or large molecules, simple or complex mixtures—the Vanquish platform was designed to handle it all. This innovative, simple-to-operate, and easy-to-maintain platform delivers confident separations that push chromatographic boundaries. Regardless of the configuration you choose, you will get a highly integrated solution with optimal fluidic connections, providing unsurpassed retention time and peak area precision.
You will also benefit from the industry-leading, easy-to-use Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) software with eWorkflow method setup, dedicated ePanels, and smart tools. Chromeleon CDS software delivers advanced system communication with single-point intelligent control and functionality. It also provides direct plugins for the Vanquish system to other manufacturers' chromatography data systems.
Choose from two Vanquish UHPLC systems:
For your most complex and difficult samples, or for applications where you are aiming for the shortest cycle times and highest throughput. Vanquish Horizon allows for smaller particles and column dimensions to be run with greater confidence for the most demanding LC and LC-MS workflows.
For assays that require more flexibility in solvents to accommodate all applications. Vanquish Flex excels from method development to routine analyses. With binary and quaternary pump options, the Vanquish Flex offers outstanding performance for targeted LC and LC-MS workflows.
