“The Focus Gradient Generator delivers optimized, predictive preparative method development for flash ​​chromatography using the results of a scouting run," said Joshua Lovell, ISCO's product line manager—pharma R&D products. “It's a tool that makes calculations fast and easy, eliminating the need to run multiple TLCs with different mobile phase concentrations. The Focus Gradient Generator makes using TLC plates for flash obsolete."

Combined with a PurIon™ mass spectrometer, the system designates which peak represents your compound of interest to optimize the method around; no guessing which spot is the target material.

The Focus Gradient Generator proved its value on ACCQPrep® chromatography system. The Focus​ Gradient Generator makes the CombiFlash even more desirable by ensuring successful purification the first time. “Give your lab a huge boost in efficiency by taking the guesswork out of flash chromatography," Lovell said.
