Postnova Analytics GmbH products

The new Postnova SC2000 Modular SEC system offers unrivalled flexibility in Advanced SEC/GPC analysis. It is the first truly modular multi-detector SEC system available allowing flexible access to a wide range of applications. The system incorporates state-of-the-art detection technologies including light scattering (MALS > multi-angle light scattering) for absolute molecular weight and Viscosity detection for structural and conformational data. Many other detector and accessory options and combinations are available to build a system uniquely tailored to your application requirements, with the benefit of modularity to allow easy future expansion. In addition, the SC2000 can be further expanded to include FFF modules to widen the application range and allow both SEC and FFF separations to be carried out on the same sample within one instrument platform.

The most Advanced Flow FFF Platform for Separation of Proteins, Macromolecules and Nanoparticles!. The new Postnova AF2000 MultiFlow FFF Series was invented to become the first professional modular Flow FFF platform available. It is completely integrated by the NovaFFF single software platform which runs the entire system from autosampler to detectors. The AF2000 Series incorporates the combined solid know-how and the technologies from three decades of leadership in FFF. Due to its unique design, the AF2000 MultiFlow platform offers more flexibility, higher robustness and better performance than any system before. The technology sets a new standard in the area of Flow FFF and marks a real break-through in FFF science and therefore naturally has become the leading Flow FFF solution for many scientists around the world.

The new advanced Postnova CF2000 Series was developed to become the first professional modular Centrifugal FFF system available. It is completely controled by the NovaFFF single software platform which runs the entire system from autosampler to detectors. The CF2000 Centrifugal FFF incorporates the combined proven know-how and the patented technologies from three decades of leadership in FFF. Due to it`s unique design, the CF2000 Centrifugal FFF system offers more flexibility, higher robustness and better performance than traditional particle sizer systems. The CF2000 allows high resolution particle separation and sizing at the same time and consequently sets a complete new standard and offers a real alternative to traditional particle characterization techniques.

The new award winning Postnova TF2000 Thermal FFF Series was invented to become the first professional modular Thermal FFF system available. It is completely integrated by the NovaFFF single software platform which runs the entire system from autosampler to detectors. The TF2000 Series incorporates the combined solid know-how and the proven technologies from three decades of leadership in FFF. Due to it`s unique design, the TF2000 Thermal FFF system offers more flexibility, higher robustness and better performance than traditional chromatographic systems. No separation column with stationary phase is required anymore and consequently the TF2000 technology sets a complete new standard and offers a real alternative to column-based polymer characterization techniques.

The Postnova PN1130 Isocratic Pump is a solvent delivery system which has been specially developed and strictly optimized for the best performance in Field-Flow Fractionation. It employs short piston stroke technology with only two check valves. The working principle of the PN1130 FFF Isocratic pump is shown in the figure.

The PN1150 Quaternary Pump (Low Pressure Gradient pump) is a bio-inert HPLC/FPLC solvent delivery system to convey liquids for analytical and semipreparative applications. The module is intended to be used in the following areas:

Since the 1990s Postnova has been a leading innovator and developer of special advanced online Light Scattering solutions for coupling with chromatographic separation systems. The first model was the PD2000 - Static Light Scattering detector for coupling with Asymmetric Flow FFF. Later on the models PN3020 SLS and PN3070 MALS have been launched. Based on over two decades of practical experience, Postnova has collected a unique competence in the area of Laser Light Scattering and has developed the unique PN3621 MALS - Multi-Angle Light Scattering detector series. The model PN3621 MALS is a completely new type of high performance MALS detector system with a unique range of specifications.

The Postnova PN3310 Viscometer detector is a state-of-the-art intrinsic viscosity detector for Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF) and Size Exclusion Chromatography (GPC/SEC). It is based on the proven Wheatstone-Bridge design for measuring the intrinsic viscosity of macromolecules in solution. The instrument is designed in the modern and compact Postnova FFF detector design.

The new PN3150 deflection type differential Refractive Index Detector is a detection system which offers the highest sensitivity combined with exceptional baseline stability at the same time. Thus, the system is ideally suited for „flow sensitive“ applications such as FFF and GPC. The unit comes in the new Postnova design and has a removable front cover. The manual touch keys, combined with the display, allow complete control of the detector without the need for any external software system. At the same time the PN3150 can be easily controlled externally using the integrated Ethernet interface connection port.
