The Beckman Coulter P/ACE MDQ is a highly flexible capillary electrophoresis (CE) system designed for research, method development, and routine quality control (QA/QC).
The system supports a wide range of electrophoretic techniques:
- Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE)
- Isotachophoresis (ITP)
- Isoelectric Focusing (IEF)
- Affinity Electrophoresis
- Electrokinetic Chromatography (EKC)
- Electrochromatography
The instrument is equipped with a selectable wavelength UV/VIS detector and can be extended with a diode array detector (190–600 nm) or a highly sensitive laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detector (488/520 nm).
The system is delivered with:
- computer
- 32 Karat software
- capillaries and accessories
Key Features
