Using derivatization after the HPLC column even those substances can be detected that are otherwise not or badly visible for the detector. This method is suitable for the analysis of amino acids, biogene amines, mycotoxins, antibiotics and other compounds( Overview of the applications (pdf)).
The PINNACLE PCX is a result of decades of experiences that Pickering Laboratories (USA) has collected concerning post column derivatization. It is a modern system, each part is consequently designed for professional post column derivatization.
It can be combined with any HPLC device. The system is all over the world successfully used for environmental, clinical and pharmaceutical analysis as well as in food and feed industries.
An electronic syringe pump provides pulse-free operation and results in chromatograms that easy to interprete.
As the system only pumps solvent when the HPLC really is injecting, the consumption of reagents can significantly be reduced.
The integrated column oven allows using a temperature gradient for the HPLC column, resulting in short running time for the analysis of amino acids.
The need for maintenance is extremly low for the Pinnacle PCX. The flow paths are inert, all solvents thus can be used. Automated rinsing processes clean the system directly after derivatization and avoid contaminations.
In case you need to change the application, this is done with little effort: Simple change the reactor and choose the method via software.
The system is part of a complette product range for post column derivatization: systems, reagents, columns, methods and last not least helpful support.

All components of the PINNACLE PCX can easily be reached - a plus for quick and easy maintenance.
For switching to another application simply exchange the reactor and choose the stored method.
