Features
Some of the highlights of what makes the miniLC so unique and powerful
SHOEBOX SIZE
The miniLC has by far the smallest footprint of any fully functional LC out there. It’s slightly bigger than that of a shoebox while slightly taller than twice the height of a shoebox. This makes the system ideal for putting in multiple locations, being able to move it when needed, and makes it very easy to install.
VARIABLE WAVELENGTH UV DETECTOR
Included in the system is a variable wavelength UV detector that is capable of measuring signal from 185nm to 400nm allowing you maximum optimization capability and the ability to match reference results that have been generated at a particular wavelength.
BINARY GRADIENT PUMPING SYSTEM
The two high-end, high pressure piston pumps allow the system to deliver very accurate solvent gradients even up to 10,000 psi of back pressure with flow rates from 0.1mL/min to 10mL/min meaning you can even use UHPLC columns with small particle sizes with the miniLC for maximum resolving capability.
CAPABLE OF INTERFACING WITH ANY MASS SPEC
The miniLC allows you to seamlessly integrate with any LCMS Mass Spec available. The miniLC outlet tube can be plumbed straight into the MS and the miniLC software is compatible with all the major MS system providers, so if you already own a MS, there’s no need to buy a new one!
INTEGRATED 20 POSITION AUTOSAMPLER
Put your samples in standard HPLC vials, place up to 20 of them in the autosampler rack and start the run. No need to babysit the system while it is running.
POWERFUL USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE
We have custom designed our user interface with the customer and ease of use in mind. Our goal has always been to create an extremely powerful interface allowing full functionality but while also being extremely easy to navigate with no training required. If it requires a manual to use, it’s probably too complicated.
INTEGRATED DEGASSER
The miniLC inlcudes a high end integrated degasser that removes dissolved gasses from your mobile phases, ensuring the most stable baseline for the best possible sensitivity and repeatability.
USES STANDARD HPLC & UHPLC COLUMNS
The miniLC uses standard HPLC and UHPLC columns so there’s no need to buy specialty columns from only one vendor. This also allows you match results from literature and other systems / labs.
MATCHES THE RESULTS OF TRADITIONAL HPLCs / UHPLCs
Although the miniLC is dramatically smaller, lower cost, and easier to use, the chromatograms produced with the miniLC are indistinguishable from results produced by other traditional HPLCs & UHPLCs, so that results can be matched and compared to literature results, historical data, and outside lab results.

User interface
We have designed control and data viewing software for our miniLC that is the easiest to use LC software available while allowing full control of the system. The miniLC comes with a laptop with the software that connects to the miniLC via an ethernet cable. The software and all future upgrades are free and open source to anyone so our software can be seamlessly integration with any LIMS system and the data can be exported into cvs for external data viewing and analysis. Watch the software demo video to see the software in action.
