The HPTLC PRO Module DERIVATIZATION is part of the CAMAG® HPTLC PRO SYSTEM – the first fully automated HPTLC system worldwide.
The HPTLC PRO Module DERIVATIZATION is designed for the fully automatic derivatization of HPTLC glass plates (20 x 10 cm) and uniquely combines two steps in a single device: high-precision spraying of derivatization reagents and heating of the plate. Employing the patented micro-droplet spraying technology, the Module DERIVATIZATION enables maximum homogeneity in applying derivatization reagents. The integrated plate heating unit ensures a uniform heat distribution across the plate.
To suit the viscosity of the spraying reagents, four different nozzles are available. Spraying at slightly reduced pressure further improves the spraying process. Equipped with a fully automated nozzle changer and cleaning station, the Module DERIVATIZATION effectively avoids cross-contamination.
Key Features
- Part of the fully automated HPTLC PRO SYSTEM
- Nozzle changer to choose nozzles from three different nozzle parking positions
- Integrated plate heating unit
- Handling of two different reagents
- HPTLC glass plates (20 x 10 cm)
- Software-controlled by visionCATS
Key Benefits
- Spraying and heating in a single device
- Maximum homogeneity in reagent and heat distribution
- Highest user safety through automation and fume hood connection
- Optimal cleaning procedure between nozzle changes
- Low reagent consumption (3 mL)
The Module DERIVATIZATION features four spraying nozzles generating different droplet sizes to suit the properties of the selected reagent.
A sophisticated gripper mechanism inserts the nozzle into the nozzle adapter prior to spraying and moves it afterwards to the integrated cleaning station.
Employing the patented micro-droplet spraying technology, the reagent spraying nozzles generate an extremely fine reagent mist, which evenly distributes in the derivatization chamber and gradually settles down on the plate.
The cleaning station washes the nozzle from the inside and the outside. Meanwhile, the HPTLC plate is moved to the subsequent heating step.
