New products from Varian, Inc. at analytica 2010

Darmstadt (ots) - Varian, Inc. excels in developing high
performance instruments and consumables that give faster results, are
more cost-effective, and are easier to use. For analysts monitoring
impurities in drinking water, designing and purifying new therapeutic
drugs, or developing cleaner fuels, our products deliver sensitivity,
flexibility, and performance.

Sample Preparation

Captiva NDLipids protein precipitation technology can
significantly improve bio-analytical sensitivity during LC/MS/MS
analyses, by removing lipids and proteins from plasma to minimize ion
suppression for fast and reliable sample processing.

Gas Chromatography

The 490-GC Micro-GC is a rugged gas analyzer with "measure
anywhere" flexibility for maximum ease-of-use. It offers tailored
customization with a full range of options that includes optimized
sample conditioning.

The Varian Select[TM] PAH capillary column delivers
interference-free PAH analysis, with high resolution, high speed, and
high temperature stability.

EZ-Guard[TM] columns have an uncoated section at the front that
protects the analytical (coated) section from contamination,
providing longer column lifetimes and reducing costs per analysis.
New, mid-polar stationary phases include VF-17ms, VF-35ms, and
VF-1701ms.

Gas Clean[TM] Filters deliver faster stabilization, improving
productivity by limiting downtime, and reducing costs by saving
carrier gas, with process filters, carbon dioxide filter and
high-flow connection base unit.

Liquid Chromatography

Pursuit[TM] UPS columns are available in multiple formats and
complementary chemistries on 1.9 and 2.4 µm silica for fast and easy
method development in high throughput UHPLC.

For gel permeation chromatography (GPC), the 390-LC Multi Detector
Suite combines easily with any liquid chromatography system to let
you perform all types of GPC experiment. 390-LC is economical,
versatile and integrated, containing any combination of light
scattering, refractive index, or viscometry detectors.

ProSEC[TM] 300S columns achieve true size exclusion of small to
medium-sized proteins with minimal unwanted interaction effects,
providing excellent resolution across the application range. Use the
PR-10 protein calibration kit to determine the relationship between
protein size and retention time.

EcoSpheres[TM] loose micro-porous media for clean up of
environmental samples can be used with any isocratic system, and with
a wide range of organic solvents for maximum utility.

The S-L2-10 column calibration kit extends the range of Varian GPC
calibrants with very low molecular weight polystyrenes (106 to 4500
Da). The easy-to-use EasiVial[TM] calibration kit format now includes
polyethylene glycol and low molecular weight polystyrene versions for
a wider choice.

HPLC Purification and Production

The 440-LC Fraction Collector is the ideal partner for
semi-preparative and preparative scale HPLC collections. It boasts a
large fraction collection capacity of up to 270 x 13 mm OD tubes,
complemented by a wide choice of collection vessels.

FlowTrap[TM] columns capture and concentrate small molecules from
solutions containing a high proportion of water such as prep-HPLC
eluents. These ultra-versatile columns can be used with almost all
HPLC instruments and pumps.

SepTech[TM] C18 media for reverse phase prep to process HPLC
delivers symmetrical peaks that improve yields of high quality
product.

Easy Flash Purification

SuperFlash[TM] columns maximize compound purity and recovery, in
16 standard sizes with a range of chemistries.

The 971-FP Flash Purification system enhances productivity through
its ready-to-run technology that eliminates warm-up time, and
method-guiding functionality that optimizes solvent, SuperFlash[TM]
column choice, and gradient options.

DASi[TM] sample loading modules deliver even loading of low
solubility and high viscosity compounds for tight, thin separation
bands to maximize product concentration.

The 971-FP Performance Check Kit contains all the components
required to check the operation of the flash system and provide
confidence that it is running at peak efficiency.

PuriFlash F[TM] cartridges for development work with compression
module systems, in a wide range of sizes, convenient sorbents, and
consistent packing for more concentrated fractions.

FT-IR Solutions for Polymers and Materials Applications

With the high performing 600-IR FT-IR spectrometer analysts can
study the most challenging samples with full spectrum sampling
options and powerful, yet intuitive software. The 600-IR can be used
to confirm consistency of raw materials and finished products, study
surface modification and dynamic reactions, and investigate
heterogeneity and identify contaminants.

Mass Spectrometry

The 225-MS Ion Trap GC/MS is the world's first mass spectrometer
to enclose all of its components in one compact design, delivering
excellent sensitivity and selectivity where bench space is limited.

The 325-MS LC/MS is a robust, reliable option for LC/MS in
environmental, food safety, clinical research, and forensics
applications. The choice of ionization modes and scanning techniques
for difficult small molecule analyses delivers information and
flexibility.

Dissolution Testing

The 708-DS dissolution apparatus tests a variety of pharmaceutical
products, including tablets, capsules, transdermal patches, and
membranes. 708-DS offers a choice of options to meet user
expectations for productivity, robustness, and ease-of-use.

Automation Suite for NMR

The 400-MR is compact and simple to use, delivering fast and
reliable results day in and day out. 400-MR provides unmatched
productivity for routine chemical applications by combining easy to
use software with the outstanding performance of DirectDrive[TM] and
DirectDigital[TM] spectrometer architecture. Advanced automation
accessories including autosamplers and the proprietary OneNMR[TM]
probe enable users to take full advantage of the 400-MR's
capabilities.

X-Ray Crystallography

Combine the SuperNova[TM] and PX Scanner[TM] to provide a complete
protein crystallography laboratory. SuperNova is compact,
easy-to-use, and delivers the highest quality single-crystal X-ray
diffraction data with the highest reliability. PX Scanner is a unique
instrument for screening protein crystals in situ in the multi-well
crystallization plate.
