HPLC System

Kort beskrivelse

Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain) wishes to acquire 8 HPLC systems, 1 GC-FID and 1 HPLC for its analytics CORE facility. The HPLC systems are going to be integrated with the overall in-frastructure of the analytics facility to support the science at DTU Biosustain.

The Analytics CORE at Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain) is undergoing a strategic change, where its support is broadened from almost a centre exclusive support to a more embracing support including collaborations with neighbouring university institutes. This falls in a similar strategic transi-tion at DTU Biosustain where the scope is on a path towards a broader scientific field than before. In this transition it has been deemed necessary to acquire a new set of HPLC’s equipment to meet the needs of the support facility. This new set of HPLC equipment will replace the excisting set of HPLC’s no longer living up to the standards required.
