Since 1984, SYKAM has been manufacturing subassemblies used for chromatography, such as HPLC pumps, vacuum degassers, injectors, detectors, etc. As the company grew, the individual components were assembled into complete systems of their own production.
In addition to liquid chromatographs, SYKAM offers a wide range in OEM construction, or even individual modules, if a system of another manufacturer needs to be supplemented. SYKAM develops its own devices and manufactures everything in-house. This means a very wide range, starting from the assembly / soldering of electronic boards, through mechanical processing to the construction of devices and their factory testing.
SYKAM modular HPLC devices can be classified into 2 families:
The S500 family includes devices for the automatic measurement of a maximum of 60 samples, assembled from modules that meet the user's needs.
The pumps are made of PEEK or acid-resistant steel, with Micro (0.001 - 4 ml/min), Analytical (0.001 - 10 ml/min)) and Semipreparative (0.1 - 40 ml/min) heads. A piston backflash system can be ordered as an option.
This is how it can be ordered with an isocratic or quaternary gradient pump, 1 or 2-channel UV, PDA or RI detector, manual or automatic sample dispenser, heated or cooled/heated column thermostat.
For detailed information on the building blocks of the SYKAM S500 HPLC system (e.g. the 16 pump versions), see the downloadable brochure below the table.
More detailsHPLC pumps (for the S 500 system)
The pump type S 1125 is available in two versions: isocratic and low-pressure quaternary gradient pump. The pump is equipped with a stepper motor, which provides a much better resolution in the low flow range than conventional DC motors. Thanks to the two-piston pump head and the electronic pressure compensation, these pumps are suitable for all HPLC and GPC applications. The gradient version includes the mixing chamber, for which the 4-channel vacuum degasser can be requested as an option.
The volume of the mixing chamber can be adjusted as required (10-500 µl). During routine maintenance, the pump head is easily accessible to the user via the front panel of the device (e.g. replacement of seals). The pumps are made of PEEK or acid-resistant steel, with Micro (0.001 - 4 ml/min), Analytical (0.001 - 10 ml/min)) and Semipreparative (0.1 - 40 ml/min) heads. A piston backflash system can be ordered as an option. (For more technical data, see the downloadable brochure below).
Automatic sample injector
60 1.5 ml standard sample containers or 1 microplate can be placed on the tray. Dosable volume: adjustable between 0.1 and 999.9 μl. "Zero Waste" injection mode for dispensing very small sample volumes. Its specialty is the double needle system. the outer needle pierces the septum, thus protecting the inner needle from possible blockage due to pieces of the septum. Optional: pre-column derivatization, sample heating/cooling, automatic sample dilution. Dual sampling needle to avoid clogging.
Detectors
UV-VIS (S 3245): 190 – 800 nm, one or two channels, with built-in peak detector, optional online scan
PDA (S 3345): 190 - 720 nm (256 diodes), or 190 - 1015 nm (1,024 diodes), with built-in peak detector,
RI (S 3585) Refraction index detector: Micro-, Analytical- and Semi-preparative versions, with thermally isolated optics, counter-flow heat exchanger, programmable temperature control.
Column thermostat
3 columns with a maximum length of 350 mm can be placed at the same time. With leak detector, overheating protection, +30 -150 °C temperature control, with Peltier cell active cooling/heating option +5 -100 °C, which can be used to program the temperature over time
Vacuum degasse
Semipermeable membrane technology. The membrane has a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-channel versions.
Instrument control, evaluation (for all chromatographs)
The device is computer controlled. The hardware is controlled by the Control module of the Clarity software. The software is user-friendly and easy to learn. The chromatographic evaluation software called Clarity, which is FDA-21 CFR Part 11 compatible, is also used for data collection and measurement evaluation.
