Biotech Fluidics reports that a major pharmaceutical customer has purchased 17 SPR-200 solvent recycler units to improve sustainable use of solvents by HPLC systems in their analytical laboratories. Externally powered, the standalone SPR-200 solvent recycler does not require an external computer thereby avoiding potential connectivity issues with user I.T systems.

 

Compatible with most HPLC systems, the SPR-200 continuously monitors the output signal of liquid chromatography instrument detectors. In customer labs the SPR-200 has been shown to recover up to 90% of the mobile phase by redirecting the pure recovered solvent to a dedicated reservoir during isocratic HPLC.

Fritiof Ponten, CEO of Biotech Fluidics commented “Controlled via an integral LED screen and membrane keyboard – the SPR-200’s user friendly software allows you to configure operational parameters and to perform online monitoring and create an audit trail of recovered solvent”. He added “Not only does the SPR-200 solvent recycler improve the sustainability of your lab, but it also quickly pays for itself by enabling you to recycle almost all the solvent used by your isocratic HPLC systems”.
