Description
This Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the University of British Columbia seeks to procure a chromatography system capable of both preparative-scale high-performance liquid chromatography (up to 2 g) and automated flash chromatography. The system must support ultraviolet-visible detection from 300-800 nm, automated injection and fraction collection, and operate up to 400 bar pressure in HPLC mode. The successful system will integrate both flash and preparative chromatography into a single unit, supporting normal-phase chromatography with polar stationary phases and nonpolar mobile phases.
