Sample purification is an indispensible tool for synthetic organic chemists.
However, the costs associated with acquiring and disposing of solvents
continues to increase. For many labs, the total solvent consumption used
in purification work can be more than half of the lab's yearly budget.
Biotage's new gradient optimization technology or GO capability allows researchers to automatically convert less efficient linear gradients to an optimized step gradient with the press of a button says Bob Bickler, Senior Product Manager at Biotage. Linear gradients typically use 13 or more column volumes of solvent but the Isolera GO feature can reduce the number of column volumes to 7 or even 5, reducing solvent use 60% or more.
The GO solvent saving feature is available on all new Isolera systems. As many in the medicinal chemistry arena institute green chemistry
initiatives, Biotage continues to evolve its products to aid it customers and the environment.
