June 6, 2005 — Nanostream, a provider of high-throughput microfluidic analytical systems, announced a fraction collector add-on to the Veloce micro parallel liquid chromatography system.
The company says the addition of a parallel, time-triggered fraction collector makes it easier to use the Veloce system as a front-end sample preparation system for drug metabolism, pharmacokinetic assays and other bioanalytical applications. The Veloce system, used in conjunction with a 24-column Brio cartridge, can perform 24 analytical separations simultaneously.
Applications that could benefit from the Veloce system with fraction collection include metabolic stability assays, pharmacokinetic profiling, drug-drug interaction studies and bioavailability studies, according to Nanostream.
