TESTIMONIALS

Trusted by Industry Leaders

The Focus LC micro-HPLC is a robust miniaturized HPLC system, built with brilliant yet pragmatical engineering solutions including two syringe pumps that allow the user to operate from conventional HPLC pressures (from less than 1500 up to 3000 psi) to UHPLC pressure (from about 3500 up to 9500 psi). I believe that this type of system represents the first generation of novel HPLC systems that will emerge in future laboratories.

University of Pavia
The size of the instrument, ease-of-use and low price point give our students practical experience and exposure to the chromatography challenges they’ll face in the workplace. The Axcend Focus LC is the right choice for inexperienced users because it’s hard to break.
