Mass spectroscopy and HPLC:

MACHS-RC has a wide range of instruments used for chromatography. A versatile, durable instrument designed to execute a significant number of regular studies as well as research and development applications Clarus 590 gas chromatograph. It is a fully automated GC system that provides superior performance, greater flexibility, and higher stability. In addition to the proven strengths of our GC platform, the Clarus 590 GC includes a wide-range flame ionization detector (FID), a new high-performance capillary injector with reduced reactivity, and autosampler technology that provides multiple options for liquid injection, headspace, and SPME on a single system

A UPLC instrument ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS System, designed to improve laboratory productivity by transitioning methods to UPLC/UHPLC technology, improve the characterization of the most complex samples through enhanced resolution and leverage advanced tools to simplify and streamline your method development workflow.

In addition to GC, MACHS-RC has PinAAcle 500 that is a robust, fully-integrated, flame-only benchtop system, ideal for laboratories needing a reliable, easy-to-use, yet high-performance flame AA. It is equipped with an innovative touchscreen interface with the flexibility to operate via its easy-to-use Syngistix Touch software or the more comprehensive, optional Syngistix for AA Software.
