Overview
Biotage® Selekt Enkel is an automated flash chromatography system optimized for small-scale, routine purification in drug discovery and research laboratories. Built for small-scale research, it supports high loading pre-packed columns and features UV detection, two solvent lines with binary gradient support, and a single column line. The system is modular and can be expanded with optional upgrades such as network access, remote monitoring, ELSD, RFID, and liquid level sensors.

Main benefits

• Automated flash chromatography for small-scale, routine purification.
• Intuitive touchscreen interface with advanced software tools for easy control and workflow optimization.
• Remote control capabilities for added convenience and monitoring.
• Compatibility with high-capacity pre-packed columns (5 g to 120 g) for faster separations and reduced solvent use.
• Two solvent lines with binary gradient support to enable flexible method development.

Features

• Intuitive 15.0” solvent-stable TFT LCD touchscreen with on-screen QWERTY keyboard.
• Advanced software features including Gradient Optimization, Bypass Tray Collection, Initial Waste, Peak Hold, and 3D visualization.
• Standard QR column scanner and rack handling; optional ELSD, RFID, liquid level sensors and network upgrades.
• Supports Biotage® Sfär high-loading columns to reduce solvent consumption and speed separations.
• Multiple collection rack types supported (13 x 100 mm up to 480 mL bottles) and up to 144 fractions without rack change.
